Round Face Mill T287-1TM – indexable face mill with Ø 100 mm and 8 cutting edges by Teknik Cutting Tools

A Round Face Mill T287-1TM designed for versatile milling tasks, accepting RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts and engineered for secure mounting in standard toolholders.

• Diameter 100 mm cutter
• Accepts RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• Eight cutting edges for balanced machining
• 32 mm mounting bore, 50 mm overall length

Consistent material removal for reliable cycle times

The circular cutter body delivers consistent chip removal through its 8 cutting edges, which balances radial forces and reduces vibration during face milling. This leads to improved surface finish and more predictable tool life when paired with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts. The result is a reduction in rework and increased throughput in series production; operators and planners benefit from fewer interruptions and steadier process windows. The robust design is aimed at stability rather than experimental high-speed profiling, offering dependable performance in batch and continuous operations.

Rapid, secure clamping that minimises downtime

A compact mounting arrangement with a 32 mm mounting bore and a clearly specified M3.5 locking screw ensures straightforward installation and secure clamping. The required Torx fixings are a M3.5x8.5 Torx screw operated with a T15 Torx key, simplifying maintenance procedures and repeatable reassembly. This precise clamping interface reduces micro-movement at the toolholder junction, which supports repeatable accuracy across tool changes and shortens setup time between batches — a concrete operational advantage on busy production floors.

Practical cutter dimensions for common machining cells

With an outside diameter of 100 mm, an overall length of 50 mm and a unit mass of 1.435 kg, the cutter body balances rigidity and manoeuvrability for standard milling centres. The relatively compact profile keeps overhang modest and aids in maintaining cutter stiffness, which is beneficial when working at moderate depths of cut. Compatibility with widely used indexable inserts helps to lower tooling inventories: replacement inserts are economical compared with one-piece cutters, while the modular concept supports easy in-field restoration of cutting performance.

Engineered for dependable workshop integration

The tool’s interface and fixing specification follow common workshop standards, facilitating integration into existing tooling systems without the need for bespoke adapters. The use of indexable inserts reduces downtime for regrinds and allows grades to be selected according to the workpiece and cutting conditions. Clear specification of screw and key sizes supports safe maintenance practices and predictable spare-parts planning, contributing to a steadier production flow and simplified logistics for maintenance teams.

FAQ

What insert type does this cutter take?
The round cutter is designed for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, enabling straightforward replacement and grade selection to match the workpiece.

What are the key mounting dimensions to check before fitting?
Verify a 32 mm mounting bore and an overall length clearance of 50 mm; these dimensions match the cutter to the toolholder and machine envelope.

How many cutting edges are available and what is the benefit?
The body provides 8 cutting edges, which promotes balanced cutting forces and contributes to smoother surfaces and reduced vibration.

Which fasteners are required for secure clamping?
Clamping uses an M3.5 locking screw and M3.5x8.5 Torx screws, operated with a T15 Torx key for secure and repeatable assembly.

Is the cutter heavy to handle during tool changes?
The unit weight is 1.435 kg, making it manageable for routine handling and replacement in standard production environments.
