S718TM — Shank milling cutter, 25 mm shank, for VCGT 1604 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

The S718TM is a shank milling cutter engineered for use with VCGT 1604 indexable inserts, offering a compact overall length and a long effective cutting portion for stable slotting and face milling on production machinery.

• 25 mm shank diameter for rigid clamping
• 60 mm effective cutting length
• Compatible with VCGT 1604 indexable inserts
• Supplied with M4x10 torx fixing screw

High stability and material removal performance for continuous workflows

The tool's 25 mm shank and precisely machined body provide rigid clamping, reducing vibration and improving tool life when paired with appropriately rated holders. The combination of a 60 mm cutting length and a compact overall length supports longer engagement in deep passes while maintaining balance; this lowers the risk of chatter and improves surface finish. Compatibility with VCGT 1604 indexable inserts makes the system cost-effective: worn cutting edges are replaced quickly, reducing spindle downtime and simplifying inventory management for routine servicing.

Fast insert changes and straightforward assembly to reduce downtime

Insert retention uses a M4x10 torx fixing screw tightened with a T15 key, enabling fast, repeatable insert changes without specialised fixtures. The retained screw specification and conventional torque interface allow maintenance teams to standardise procedures and reduce tool change time. At 0.73 kg the tool offers manageable mass for handling and mounting, while the balanced construction supports predictable runout and repeatability across shifts—advantages that translate directly into higher machine utilisation and reduced per-part processing time.

Application fit and operational benefits in production environments

With two cutting edges and its defined geometry, the cutter is suitable for medium-duty milling tasks where efficiency and repeatability matter. The insert-based design separates the cutting material from the tool body, offering economic advantages when machining abrasive or variable alloys: only the insert requires replacement. For engineering workshops, CNC job shops and in-house production lines the construct supports both single-pass and multi-pass strategies, enabling clear process planning and cost control while retaining the flexibility to adapt cutting data as materials or feed requirements change.

Reliability, handling and inventory advantages

The indexable system simplifies stock keeping and reduces capital tied up in spare holders; shops can hold a small number of bodies and a larger pool of inserts to cover varied jobs. The shank configuration and standard fixing screw help ensure consistent assembly practice across operators, improving safety and repeatability. Technical documentation and file assets associated with the tool (referenced in the product files) support setup routines and spare-part planning, helping to maintain steady throughput on production lines.

FAQ

What inserts does the tool accept?
The S718TM accepts VCGT 1604 indexable inserts, allowing rapid edge changes and flexible selection of grades for different materials.

How is the insert secured to the cutter?
Insert retention is by a M4x10 torx screw tightened with a T15 key; this standardised fixing helps ensure repeatable clamping and straightforward maintenance.

Is this cutter suitable for deep shoulder milling?
The tool's 60 mm effective cutting length and 25 mm shank give a good balance between reach and rigidity, making it appropriate for many shoulder and slotting operations in medium-duty applications.

What are the handling and mounting considerations?
Weighing 0.73 kg, the cutter is easy to handle during setup; mounting should use a properly rated holder to exploit the tool's rigid clamping characteristics and to minimise runout.

Can the S718TM be used across different machine types?
Yes, the shank configuration and conventional fixing method make the S718TM adaptable to a range of CNC milling setups, provided appropriate holders and spindle interfaces are used.
