Indexable face mill T287TM — 100 mm diameter, for RDMT 12T3 inserts (Teknik Makina)

Indexable face mill T287TM designed for reliable face milling in workshop and production environments with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts

• Compatible with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• 100 mm diameter for effective face milling
• 7 cutting edges for balanced cutting
• 32 mm shank for high rigidity

Increased machining stability through a rigid design

The T287TM face mill is engineered for stable operation: the 32 mm shank and a well‑balanced mass (approx. 1.402 kg) reduce vibration and support repeatable results. A cutter with a 100 mm diameter and seven cutting edges distributes cutting forces across multiple engagement points, which lowers tool load per insert and helps to maintain a consistent machining rhythm. For production planners this translates into more predictable cycle times and fewer surface defects compared with single‑edge solutions.

Faster tooling changes and predictable service routines

Designed for indexable tooling concepts, the milling head accepts RDMT 12T3 inserts, enabling fast blades replacement and reduced process downtime. Insert retention uses M3.5 fixing hardware and the fixing screw is M3.5x8.5, loosened and tightened with a T15 Torx key for quick, repeatable clamping. The modular approach means worn geometry is resolved by inserting fresh cutting inserts rather than regrinding, which simplifies inventory management and lowers life‑cycle tooling cost.

Consistent surface finishes and reduced rework

The multiple‑edge arrangement improves chip division and promotes even wear across the insert set, supporting a consistent surface finish and minimised need for secondary operations. The cutter head’s geometry is set to achieve balanced engagement with each indexable insert, which reduces the risk of chatter in common face‑milling tasks. For operations where component quality and throughput matter, this approach delivers measurable process efficiency.

Suitable for workshop and light industrial production

With an overall length of 50 mm and compact dimensions, the milling head integrates easily into standard arbors and toolholders that accept a 32 mm shaft. The specification is suitable for general face‑milling applications where RDMT 12T3 inserts are already in use, making the T287TM a practical choice for jobbing shops and production lines alike. The robust construction supports frequent index changes and straightforward handling during setup.

FAQ

Which inserts are compatible with this cutter?
The T287TM is designed for use with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts; compatibility is specified to enable fast insert changes and straightforward re‑stocking.

What are the main dimensions of the milling head?
The cutter has a 100 mm diameter, 50 mm overall length and a 32 mm shank diameter, listed to support correct toolholder selection.

How many cutting edges does the tool use and what is the benefit?
The head accepts 7 cutting edges in total; this distribution reduces individual insert load and contributes to a steadier cutting action and improved surface consistency.

Which screws and key are required for insert changes?
Insert retention uses M3.5 fixing screws, the fixing screw is M3.5x8.5, and a T15 Torx key is specified for reliable clamping.

Is this cutter suitable for production environments?
Yes — the T287TM is designed for workshop and light production use where indexable insert systems and consistent throughput are required.
