Corner Turning Head T538TM by Teknik Cutting Tools — for BDMT 1704 indexable inserts, 90° cutting angle, 22 mm shank

The Corner Turning Head T538TM is an external turning toolholder engineered for secure, repeatable machining with BDMT 1704 indexable inserts in standard lathe toolposts.

• 90° cutting geometry for precise turning
• 22 mm shank diameter for standard toolholders
• Compatible with BDMT 1704 indexable inserts
• Torx M4x10 fastening; T15 key

Stable geometry for precision turning and repeatable results

The compact toolhead offers a 90° cutting angle and a substantial Ø50 mm head diameter that together create a predictable cutting vector and excellent resistance to deflection. This stability supports consistent surface finishes and tighter tolerances when performing external turning operations. Designed for BDMT-style indexable inserts, the holder combines a rigid interface with an overall mass of 0.312 kg, which helps dampen vibration without adding unnecessary bulk. These characteristics translate into reduced scrap rates and fewer tool adjustments on the shop floor, supporting efficient batch production and quality assurance.

Fast, secure insert clamping to reduce downtime

Insert retention is handled via a Torx M4x10 screw secured with a T15 key, providing a compact, repeatable clamp that simplifies insert indexation and replacement. The straightforward fastening method reduces changeover time and lowers the risk of incorrect seating, which is critical for repeatability in industrial environments. Compatibility with BDMT 1704 inserts and recognition of major suppliers (Kyocera) mean that replacement inserts are widely available, keeping machine downtime to a minimum and supporting continuous production cycles.

Seamless integration into common toolholding systems

With a 22 mm shank and a total length of 40 mm, the turning head fits typical lathe toolposts and modular holders, enabling quick integration into existing setups without requiring special adapters. The compact dimensions allow closer centre-line approaches while the head diameter supports stable cutting when performing shoulder or profiling operations. Supplied by Teknik Cutting Tools and distributed via Metav Werkzeuge, the component is intended for machinists and maintenance teams who prioritise predictable performance and easy stocking across workshops.
