Round insert milling cutter T289TM — 40 mm diameter, 4 cutting edges, for RDMT 1003 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

The Round insert milling cutter T289TM is a compact indexable‑insert cutter designed for productive face milling and light slotting operations where quick insert changes and stable cutting are required.

• 40 mm cutting diameter
• Four cutting edges for balanced cuts
• Compatible with RDMT 1003 inserts
• Ø16 mm shank for standard holders

Stable removal rates and consistent surface quality

With a 40 mm diameter and four cutting edges, this milling cutter delivers a balanced cutting action that reduces vibration and supports steady chip formation. The geometry of the tool head is designed to distribute cutting forces across multiple edges, which helps to maintain tool balance during higher feed rates. Reduced vibration contributes to improved surface finish and repeatable results in series production, making the tool suitable for shops aiming for consistent output and lower scrap rates. The cutter’s modest 0.22 kg weight also reduces spindle load and inertia during acceleration and direction changes.

Fast insert changes that cut downtime

The T289TM accepts RDMT 1003 indexable inserts, enabling rapid replacement of worn cutting edges rather than full‑tool changes. Indexable inserts keep running costs predictable and minimise inventory of complete cutters; only the small inserts are stocked and replaced. The insert system is particularly useful for operations with frequent tool wear cycles, as insert swap‑outs are quick, require minimal setup time and reduce machine downtime compared with solid tools. This approach supports efficient production planning and a lower total cost of ownership for repetitive milling tasks.

Secure clamping and straightforward mounting

A secure interface is provided by a Ø16 mm shank, which fits standard collets and holder systems, and by the specified fastenings: locking screw M3.5, Torx screw M3.5x8.5 and Torx key size T15. These details ensure that the cutting head remains rigidly fixed during machining, reducing axial play and improving positional accuracy. The defined fastener sizes simplify maintenance and spare‑part procurement: a T15 driver is sufficient for insert changes and routine checks, and the standard screw sizes match common workshop tool sets.

Integration into production and supplier assurance

Designed for use with RDMT 1003 inserts, this indexable cutter integrates easily into existing tool plans and holder inventories. Its standardised dimensions make it straightforward to fit into modular tool systems without extensive requalification. For procurement, Metav Werkzeuge provides a central source in Europe with a broad selection of metrology and tooling products; the Emmerich site acts as a quality filter and logistics hub, supporting reliable supply and consistent product quality for industrial and trade customers.

FAQ

Which insert type fits this cutter?
The cutter accepts RDMT 1003 indexable inserts; this compatibility is specified for the T289TM from Teknik Makina.

How many cutting edges does it have and what is the diameter?
The tool is equipped with four cutting edges and a 40 mm cutting diameter.

What is the shank size and how does that affect holder choice?
The shank diameter is Ø16 mm; holders and collets matching this diameter are required for secure mounting.

Which fasteners and driver are specified for insert clamping?
Insert clamping uses a locking screw M3.5 and a Torx screw M3.5x8.5; the corresponding driver size is T15.

Can this cutter be used with existing indexable insert inventories?
Yes — compatibility with RDMT 1003 inserts allows integration with systems already using that insert type, simplifying tooling management.
