T-Nut Cutter TKC188TM by Teknik Makina — 100 mm diameter, compatible with RD--12 indexable inserts

T-nut cutter TKC188TM designed for machining precise T-slots in industrial milling applications, compatible with RD--12 indexable inserts and a robust 27 mm shank for stable clamping

• 100 mm diameter for high stock removal
• Compatible with RD--12 indexable inserts
• 27 mm shank for rigid clamping

Faster T-slot production with fewer tool passes

The 100 mm tool diameter reduces the number of passes required to create a T-slot, directly improving cycle times on production and job-shop machines. A larger cutter diameter also spreads cutting forces across multiple edges, resulting in more consistent material removal and a predictable machining process. For operations where throughput matters, this cutter offers a pragmatic balance between productivity and finish quality, enabling shorter lead times without compromising slot geometry.

Stable cutter geometry for improved surface and accuracy

Featuring a 27 mm shank and an overall mass that dampens vibration, the tool provides a secure interface with standard toolholders and heavy-duty boring heads. The arrangement of the 8 cutting edges contributes to balanced cutting dynamics, which helps reduce chatter and delivers a cleaner slot floor and walls. Indexable insert technology simplifies maintenance: worn inserts are replaced quickly and consistently, restoring cutting performance without the need for regrinding the whole tool.

Practical compatibility and secure insert clamping

The cutter is specified for RD--12 indexable inserts and uses a M3.5x8.5 Torx screw for each pocket, driven with a T15 Torx key. This established clamping approach ensures repeatable insert seating and stable cutting under moderate to heavy engagement. Integrating the cutter into an existing tooling set is straightforward: the standard shank diameter and insert family keep stocking costs low while enabling fast on-machine insert changes, reducing downtime and increasing overall equipment effectiveness.

FAQ

What insert family is required for this cutter?
The cutter is designed for RD--12 indexable inserts and secures the inserts with M3.5x8.5 Torx screws as used on the TKC188TM.

Can the cutter be mounted in any standard toolholder?
Yes, the 27 mm shank dimension allows mounting in standard heavy-duty holders and boring systems that accept 27 mm shanks, providing stable clamping for consistent slot geometry.

How are worn inserts replaced and secured?
Worn inserts are replaced individually; each seat uses a M3.5x8.5 Torx screw tightened with a T15 key to ensure secure, repeatable clamping and quick on-machine service.

Is the cutter suitable for high-feed roughing of T-slots?
The large 100 mm diameter and multiple cutting edges make it suitable for efficient roughing passes where high material removal rates are required, while insert changes restore cutting performance quickly.

What is the SKU for ordering and referencing this cutter?
Reference the SKU TKC188TM when enquiring or ordering to ensure the correct 100 mm T-nut cutter variant is supplied.
