Indexable round milling cutter – Ø40 mm, 4 cutting edges by Teknik Makina

The Indexable round milling cutter is a compact, indexable tool designed for medium-duty milling with RDMT 12T3 inserts, suited to general workshop and light production environments

• Ø40 mm cutting diameter, 4 cutting edges
• Compatible with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• 16 mm shank for secure toolholder fit
• Torx T15 clamping with M3.5x8.5 screws

Reliable throughput from a compact design

The cutter has been engineered to maintain steady productivity in confined setups. With a Ø40 mm diameter and 4 cutting edges, the tool offers balanced material removal while reducing vibration compared with single-edge alternatives. The combination of compact dimensions and multiple cutting edges results in shorter machining cycles and consistent chip evacuation, which translates into improved production throughput and less time spent on secondary operations. The slim profile is particularly advantageous where spindle clearance or compact fixtures limit tool choice.

Secure clamping for repeatable accuracy

A focus on clamping integrity ensures repeatable results part after part. The head is retained with a M3.5 locking screw and a Torx M3.5x8.5 fastening bolt, tightened using a T15 key, providing secure insert fixation and straightforward maintenance. This arrangement reduces the risk of insert movement under load, so concentricity and surface finish remain stable across batches. Clear, standardised fastening parts make replacement and workshop servicing quick and reliable.

Broad compatibility with industry-standard inserts

Designed for use with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, the cutter offers flexibility across common grades and geometries. The indexable system enables rapid edge changes without regrinding, lowering running costs and downtime. Where different materials demand different insert grades, the cutter accepts established insert sizes, allowing compatibility with existing inventory and simplifying tool management across the shop floor.

Compact shank and handling benefits

With a 16 mm shank and a measured weight of 0.236 kg, the tool combines rigidity with easy handling during setup. The reduced mass helps to limit centrifugal forces at moderate spindle speeds while the standard shank diameter supports secure seating in collets and toolholders. These characteristics help to preserve spindle bearings and maintain concentric performance over prolonged use, contributing to cost-effective operation and predictable machining results.
