S228TM shank cutter by Teknik Makina — 16 mm shaft, for APMT 11T3 indexable inserts

The S228TM is a shank cutter designed for modular indexable-insert milling, combining a compact 16 mm shaft with a 25 mm cutting length for stable, repeatable machining in CNC environments.

• 16 mm shaft diameter for stable clamping
• 25 mm effective cutting length
• Compatible with APMT 11T3 indexable inserts
• Torx M2.5x5.5 screw with T8 key

Predictable performance for indexable-insert milling

The S228TM is built to deliver consistent results in production workflows where predictable tool behaviour matters. Its 16 mm shaft diameter and 90° cutting angle ensure firm clamping and an axial engagement geometry that supports repeatable slotting and face-milling passes. The cutter accepts APMT 11T3 indexable inserts, enabling rapid insert changes and the flexibility to match grade and geometry to specific tasks. With two flutes, chip evacuation is balanced for many common feed rates, reducing the need for corrective rework and helping maintain cycle-time targets.

Faster service intervals and low-maintenance operation

A practical securing solution reduces downtime: the tool is tightened with a Torx M2.5x5.5 screw and requires a T8 key for insert changes, which simplifies routine maintenance and insert replacement. The shank design and 25 mm effective cutting length keep the cutter compact while allowing sufficient reach for most modular milling applications. The moderate overall length of 90 mm and the low weight of 0.138 kg make handling and tool change on the toolholder straightforward, supporting efficient tool management and predictable spindle loading across shifts.

Suitable for modular production cells and retrofit toolsets

Designed as a modular component, this indexable-insert cutter fits setups that favour flexibility over single-use tooling. The tool’s compatibility with APMT 11T3 inserts and recognised insert manufacturers such as Korloy helps simplify stocking strategies: one shank can accept inserts selected for wear resistance or surface finish as the process demands. For procurement and maintenance teams, the combination of standardised insert format and a stable shank reduces tooling complexity and supports fast replacement cycles that keep production moving.
