Eckmesserkopf – 40 mm corner cutting head for VCGT 1604 with internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

The Eckmesserkopf is an angled indexable insert head designed for finishing and shoulder turning with VCGT 1604 inserts, offering a compact 40 mm diameter and internal coolant for improved tool life.

• 40 mm cutting head diameter
• Compatible with VCGT 1604 inserts
• Internal coolant for improved tool life
• Torx M4x10 clamping with T15 key

Stable geometry for predictable turning results

The tool head’s 90° cutting angle and compact 40 mm diameter provide a stable cutting geometry that supports consistent shoulder and profile work. Combined with the three cutting edges, the configuration delivers balanced loads during entry and exit cuts, which reduces vibration and enhances surface finish. The short L52 mm overhang helps maintain rigidity at the tool tip, translating into repeatable results on small to medium components while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

Faster service intervals and extended insert life

Integrated internal coolant supplies lubricant and cooling directly to the cutting zone, lowering temperatures and improving chip control at the insert corner. The result is extended insert life and fewer unscheduled tool changes, which raises net productivity on batch runs. Secure clamping via an M4x10 Torx screw and a T15 key enables quick insert replacement without specialised fixtures, reducing maintenance time and simplifying routine tool servicing.

Workshop-ready design for efficient integration

The indexable head’s moderate weight of 0.277 kg and compact dimensions make it simple to integrate into standard tool holders and turret systems. Compatibility with widely used VCGT 1604 inserts ensures broad material coverage when paired with the appropriate insert grades, while the proven mechanical clamping design maintains positional accuracy across repeated indexings. The robust construction supports consistent performance in production environments that require dependable turning solutions.
