Corner Turning Head T540TM – Toolholder for BDMT 1704 indexable inserts with 90° cutting angle

A robust Corner Turning Head T540TM designed for external turning and facing tasks, optimised for use with BDMT 1704 indexable inserts and engineered for secure mounting in standard 27 mm toolholders.

• 90° cutting angle for standard turning
• Ø80 mm head diameter for rigid support
• 27 mm shank diameter for secure mounting
• Compatible with BDMT 1704 indexable inserts
• Torx M4x10 clamping screw, T15 key

Stable geometry for repeatable turning results

The toolhead’s 90° cutting angle and Ø80 mm head deliver an optimised geometry that improves rigidity during external turning operations. This stability reduces vibration and tool deflection, which in turn helps to maintain consistent surface finishes and extend insert life. The assembly is designed to integrate with common lathe tool shanks, offering the mechanical steadiness required for medium to heavy cutting tasks and predictable cycle times.

Fast, secure clamping to cut downtime

Insert retention is achieved with a Torx M4x10 clamping screw tightened with a T15 key, providing a positive and repeatable clamp force that keeps BDMT 1704 inserts seated accurately. The clear mechanical interface reduces changeover time and the risk of incorrect seating; combined with compatibility for Kyocera inserts, the head supports efficient workshop logistics and rapid tool replacement under production conditions.

Compatibility and practical workshop benefits

With a 27 mm shank, an overall length of 50 mm and a head weight of 1.165 kg, the unit is compact yet substantial enough to contribute to a stable cutting arrangement. Its specification for BDMT 1704 indexable inserts allows stocking of widely available insert grades for finishing or light roughing, simplifying procurement and inventory management. Designed for ease of handling, the toolhead provides tangible productivity gains with minimal adaptation to existing tooling systems.
