T-slot milling cutter TKC186TM (Teknik Makina) – 65 mm diameter, for RD-- 12 indexable inserts

The T-slot milling cutter TKC186TM is a purpose-built tool for producing precise T-slots in industrial milling environments, designed for use with RD-- 12 indexable inserts and standard clamping systems.

• 65 mm diameter for robust T-slot cutting
• Designed for RD-- 12 indexable inserts
• 22 mm shank for secure clamping in holders
• Six cutting edges for efficient material removal

Stable machining for repeatable slot quality

With a substantial 65 mm diameter and a firm 22 mm shank, this cutter delivers enhanced rigidity that translates into improved surface finish and dimensional consistency. The tool’s geometry, combined with its six cutting edges, reduces chatter and spreads cutting forces, which is particularly important when integrating into automated or high-volume production. The result is lower scrap rates and predictable cycle times, helping to keep machining processes on schedule and within tolerance bands.

Cost-efficient operation through indexable inserts

Designed around RD-- 12 indexable inserts, the cutter enables rapid insert changes and consistent cutting performance without replacing the entire toolbody. This approach minimises tooling expenditure and shortens maintenance intervals: individual inserts can be rotated or replaced, restoring cutting quality quickly. For production planners, the main benefit is a clear reduction in inventory turnover for complete tools and a simpler approach to wear management and cost accounting.

Straightforward integration and maintenance in workshops

The tool’s overall length of 50 mm and a 23 mm cutting-length shank accommodate common clamp holders and tool presets while keeping the assembly compact. Fastening and maintenance follow standard practice, with Torx T15 drive and M3.5x8.5 screws for secure insert retention and easy servicing on the shop floor. At a nominal weight of 0.325 kg, the cutter balances rigidity with manageable handling during setup, aiding quick tool changes and seamless incorporation into existing tooling systems.

FAQ

What insert type does the cutter use?
The cutter is specified for RD-- 12 indexable inserts, allowing quick replacement and rotation to restore cutting performance.

Is the shank compatible with standard tool holders?
Yes, the 22 mm shank is sized to fit common holder systems and provides the rigidity required for stable T-slot machining.

How many cutting edges does the tool have and why does that matter?
The tool has six cutting edges; this increases material removal efficiency and distributes wear for longer effective service life between insert changes.

What fastening method secures the inserts?
Inserts are retained with a Torx drive; the cutter uses Torx T15 and M3.5x8.5 screws for reliable and serviceable clamping.

Can this cutter be used in automated production cells?
Yes, the compact overall length and robust design make it well suited for automated setups where consistent slot quality and rapid insert changes are required.
