Insert milling cutter S397TM — 12 mm diameter, internal coolant, Teknik Makina

The insert milling cutter S397TM is a shank-style milling body engineered for VDKT 11T2 indexable inserts, offering internal coolant and a compact 85 mm overall length for precise milling in confined setups

• 12 mm cutting diameter, 16 mm shank
• Internal coolant for improved chip evacuation
• Compatible with VDKT 11T2 inserts (Korloy)
• Total length 85 mm, 25 mm effective cutting length

Increase throughput with targeted cooling and compact rigidity

The combination of internal coolant and a compact geometry ensures consistent chip removal and temperature control at the cutting zone. Internal coolant channels deliver cutting fluid close to the insert seat, which reduces thermal load and helps maintain cutting-edge life; this results in more stable processes and fewer tool changes per shift. The 12 mm cutting diameter together with the 16 mm shank provides a rigid connection to the spindle, reducing vibration and improving surface finish. For production environments seeking measurable productivity gains, this configuration supports higher feed rates while preserving dimensional accuracy.

Reliable insert system and simple maintenance for continuous operation

Designed specifically for VDKT 11T2 indexable inserts and compatible with Korloy makes and grades, the tool body simplifies tooling inventories and insert sourcing. The insert clamping uses a Torx T8 driver and M2.5x5.5 screws for secure, repeatable seating; fast, consistent insert changes minimise downtime. The S397TM’s single-cutting-edge arrangement reduces cutting forces in interrupted cuts and is straightforward to set up. Clear identification of insert type and compatible suppliers streamlines procurement and ensures that the cutter performs predictably in mixed-workshop environments.

Practical handling, tool life considerations and workshop integration

With a total length of 85 mm, an effective cutting length of 25 mm and a lightweight build of 0.11 kg, the tool is easy to mount and manoeuvre in tight fixtures while still offering solid performance. The single cutting edge aids chip segmentation and is suited to light- and medium-duty milling tasks where controllable chip flow is important. Regular inspection of clamping screws and the coolant passages will keep service intervals long and machine uptime high. For assembly and spare parts planning, note the shank diameter and the Torx screw type to ensure correct holders and drivers are available on the shop floor.

FAQ

Which insert type fits this cutter?
The cutter accepts VDKT 11T2 indexable inserts; the body is designed for this insert geometry and seat.

Is the cutter supplied with inserts or screws?
The listing describes the tool body S397TM; inserts and spare screws are supplied separately to allow selection of the appropriate grade.

How does internal coolant affect performance?
Internal coolant improves chip evacuation and reduces thermal load at the cutting edge, extending insert life for the S397TM insert milling cutter.

What shank holders are required?
A holder matching the 16 mm shank diameter is required; ensure clamping systems support the shank and the intended spindle interface.

Can the cutter be used for face milling and slotting?
The tool is suitable for light to medium-duty face milling and slotting operations where a 12 mm cutting diameter and a 25 mm cutting length are appropriate.
