Precision and process stability for shoulder turning

Engineered for repeatable right‑angle cuts, this indexable insert head provides a 90° cutting angle and a compact 40 mm overall length, delivering consistent shoulder faces and reduced vibration in short overhang applications. The integrated internal coolant channel supplies cooling directly to the cutting edge, improving chip evacuation and prolonging insert life. Such features translate into predictable cycle times and fewer secondary operations when machining shoulders and steps.

Fast setup and secure clamping for production use

The design allows quick mounting and secure fastening: the cutting heads use a T8 Torx key and M2.5x5.5 Torx screws for reliable clamping of the insert seats. The construction supports six indexed positions where applicable, which helps to extend service intervals and reduces tool change frequency. For workshops and production lines requiring efficient tooling changeover, this head minimises downtime while maintaining machining accuracy.

Compatibility and tooling strategy

Designed specifically for APKT 1003 indexable inserts and optimised for compatibility with Korloy insert grades, the head integrates seamlessly into established tooling setups. Using standard insert geometries simplifies logistics and enables the selection of grades for finishing or more aggressive stock removal without altering the holder. The compact 50 mm diameter and modest mass suit machines with limited clearance or short‑reach tool posts.

Practical benefits for workshop reliability

Beyond machining performance, the head’s compact form and robust fastening deliver straightforward maintenance and inspection. The internal coolant reduces thermal load at the cutting zone, which contributes to dimensional stability over a production run. Where repeatable shoulders and clean part finishes are required, this tool head supports consistent quality with minimal adjustment.

FAQ

What insert type fits this tool head?
The head accepts APKT 1003 indexable inserts; the design and seat geometry are matched for those inserts and for Korloy grades where applicable.

Is there internal coolant supply?
Yes, the Eckmesserkopf features an internal coolant channel that directs cutting fluid to the insert vicinity for improved chip control and tool life.

Which key and screws are required for assembly?
Assembly and insert clamping use a T8 Torx key and M2.5x5.5 Torx screws as supplied for the clamping system.

Is the tool suitable for machines with limited overhang?
The compact 50 mm diameter and 40 mm overall length make the head well suited to short‑reach applications and machines with restricted clearance.

How many active cutting positions are available?
The toolhead accommodates indexed inserts and provides multiple cutting edges to extend service intervals under normal operating conditions.
