High-precision compatibility for consistent production quality

The indexable inserts interface is specified for APMT 1604, providing a standardised, repeatable seating that reduces setup time and variance between tool changes. With a true 90° cutting angle, the head is optimised for shoulder cuts and square-shoulder finishing, ensuring a predictable cut geometry that simplifies downstream machining and inspection. The compatibility note with Korloy inserts clarifies supplier options for replacement inserts, supporting uninterrupted production.

Robust design that improves clamping stability and handling

Engineered around a 22 mm shank, the head offers a stable clamping interface that reduces vibration and improves surface finish when mounted in appropriate toolholders. The compact Ø 50 mm head and 45 mm overall length combine to keep overhang low, helping to preserve rigidity in close-tolerance operations. A lightweight construction of 0.4 kg allows easier handling during set-up, while the specified fixing screw M4x10 (Torx) and required T15 key permit secure seating of the insert and straightforward maintenance.

Practical benefits for workshop and small-batch production

For job shops and production cells requiring frequent tool changes, the tool head’s straightforward geometry supports rapid indexable insert swaps and predictable reconditioning intervals. The multi-edge insert seating (five cutting edges noted) extends use between replacements, lowering tooling logistics. This compact, purpose-built solution is suitable where efficient shoulder machining and consistent repeatability are priorities, offering a pragmatic balance of rigidity, accessibility and compatibility for standard turning tool platforms.
