Shank cutter S566TM — 18 mm, for BDMT 11T3 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

The Shank cutter S566TM is a compact milling tool designed for use with BDMT 11T3 indexable inserts, offering a rigid 16 mm shank for reliable workshop integration.

• Indexable system for BDMT 11T3 inserts
• 16 mm shank for high rigidity
• 18 mm diameter with 90° cutting angle
• Fast insert clamping with Torx M2.5x5.5

Consistent indexable performance for shorter cycle times

The tool is built around the BDMT 11T3 indexable system, which simplifies tool management and reduces setup complexity. Thanks to the standardised insert interface and Kyocera compatibility, spare parts and replacements are straightforward. The combination of a compact 18 mm cutting diameter and a secure Torx fastening (Torx M2.5x5.5 with T8 key) delivers predictable clamping force, translating into stable cutting conditions and fewer micro-adjustments between cycles. This consistency supports faster production rhythms and lowers overall process variance.

Built for rigidity and predictable surface quality

A solid 16 mm shank and a 44 mm cutting length provide the mechanical stiffness required for repeatable machining results. The cutter’s 2-flute geometry and a 90° cutting angle are selected to balance chip evacuation and tool engagement, which helps maintain edge condition over time. As a result, operators benefit from improved surface finish and reduced vibration, meaning less rework and longer intervals between insert changes. The tool’s overall length of 150 mm offers a practical reach while maintaining torsional stability.

Designed for quick maintenance and smooth workshop flow

Serviceability is a key advantage: insert changes are executed via the Torx clamping screw, minimising downtime and allowing the workshop to maintain throughput. The S566TM’s lightweight construction (approx. 0.24 kg) eases handling during set-up and reduces spindle load during acceleration. Clear, standardised dimensions—16 mm shank, 18 mm diameter, 44 mm cutting length—enable straightforward tool list management and inventory control. Reliable supply and a quality filter from Metav Werkzeuge in Emmerich ensure rapid replenishment so production can continue without lengthy interruptions.
