Planing cutter head T568TM — 125 mm, for SEET 12T3 R245 indexable inserts (Teknik Makina)

Planing cutter head T568TM designed for heavy-duty face and planing operations using SEET R245 12T3 indexable inserts, suitable for a wide range of production environments

• Compatible with SEET R245 12T3 inserts
• 125 mm diameter for broad coverage
• Eight cutting edges for continuous machining
• 40 mm shank for secure tool-holding

Consistent surface finish from a rigid, high-capacity design

The robust construction of this cutter head delivers a reliable machining platform: the 125 mm diameter provides broad contact area for efficient planing, while the 40 mm shank reduces vibration and improves runout stability. With 8 cutting edges, tool life is spread across multiple cuts, lowering downtime for indexable insert changes. These mechanical choices result in predictable component surfaces and fewer rework cycles, which is advantageous for batch production and repeatable processes.

Fast insert replacement and straightforward compatibility

Compatibility with SEET R245 12T3 indexable inserts simplifies logistics and speeds tool changes. The tool accepts inserts from established manufacturers such as Sandvik, XTC and ZCC, supporting common supply chains in industrial workshops. Fixing hardware is standardised — M3.5x11 Torx screws and M5x7 hex screws are employed, with assembly and removal aided by a T15 Torx key and U plate TA052 — enabling efficient maintenance routines and consistent clamping forces for repeatable cutting results.

Stable mounting and predictable handling for demanding operations

Measured handling values support use in heavier setups: the cutter head weighs 3.39 kg and has a compact overall length of 63 mm, yielding a solid centre of mass and restrained overhang. The 45° cutting angle balances shearing action and chip control for planing and facing operations, reducing edge wear on inserts and improving surface integrity. The combination of these specifications promotes a lower risk of chatter and delivers higher-quality finishes on a range of commonly machined materials.

Engineered for workshop flexibility and production reliability

This cutter head suits machining environments where changeovers and uptime matter. The designed interface and standard fastenings align with existing tool-holding practices, so line integration is straightforward. Compatibility with multiple insert brands, together with the tool’s geometric choices, supports both one-off and serial production tasks. As a product from Teknik Makina, the unit prioritises durable construction and practical serviceability to maintain output consistency over long production runs.
