Eckmesserkopf – Corner tool head, 40 mm with internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

The Eckmesserkopf is a compact corner tool holder designed for shoulder turning and finishing with APKT 1003 indexable inserts, ideal for light to medium turning operations in workshop and production environments.

• 40 mm diameter for compact turning heads
• Built-in internal coolant channel
• Compatible with APKT 1003 indexable inserts
• Torx T8 fastening; M2.5x5.5 screws

High repeatability and stable geometry for shoulder turning

The compact head provides a consistent 90° cutting angle and a rigid mounting interface that reduces vibration during short overhang operations. Its 40 mm footprint helps to keep the cutting point close to the tool post, which improves dimensional stability and repeatability in series turning tasks. The sturdy construction and precise geometry result in reliable surface finishes and lower scrap rates when performing shoulder cuts and light profiling.

Improved tool life and chip control through internal coolant

An integrated internal coolant channel directs cutting fluid close to the cutting edge, which supports efficient cooling and improved chip evacuation. This cooling strategy often extends insert life and helps maintain surface quality at higher cutting speeds. The holder is prepared for APKT 1003 inserts and is specified for Korloy inserts in its standard configuration, ensuring a combination of accessible insert grades and efficient heat management for tougher finishes.

Quick, secure fastening and service-friendly design

The clamping concept relies on a Torx T8 drive and M2.5x5.5 screws, enabling secure fastening with common workshop tools and straightforward routine maintenance. The compact mass (approx. 0.277 kg) minimises inertia for rapid tool changes and reduces spindle load during indexing. The clearly defined fastening sizes make replacement and reassembly predictable, shortening downtime and simplifying inventory of spare parts.

Practical workshop applications and inventory benefits

Designed for versatile use in turning centres, the head suits shoulder turning, light profiling and finishing passes where space is limited or a compact tool arrangement is required. Compatibility with the APKT 1003 insert geometry helps standardise insert stocks across machines, while the internal coolant option supports higher productivity with fewer insert changes. Supplied under the SKU T176-1TM, the component offers a pragmatic balance between compact design and functional performance for everyday production needs.
