T-slot milling cutter TKC268TM – Ø 40 mm, M16 threaded connection (Teknik Makina)

T-slot milling cutter TKC268TM for precision slotting and profile machining in industrial milling and CNC operations.

• Ø 40 mm cutting diameter for consistent slots
• 25 mm shank for secure clamping
• M16 threaded connection for easy mounting

Consistent slot geometry for reliable production

The cutter is engineered to produce uniform T-slots with minimal variation. The Ø 40 mm diameter combined with a four-flute design ensures a balanced cut and reduced vibration, which supports repeatability across batches. Stable slot profiles reduce rework and downstream assembly issues, while the 65 mm overall length offers sufficient reach for deep or recessed slots without compromising rigidity. This consistency translates directly into fewer rejects and a smoother production flow.

Stable clamping and efficient performance

A 25 mm shank provides a robust interface for standard tool holders, improving concentricity and tool life under higher feed rates. The M16 thread facilitates secure attachment of modular heads or adapters, enabling quick changeovers and straightforward integration into existing setups. With a low mass of 0.164 kg, the cutter minimises dynamic imbalance, allowing higher spindle speeds and steady surface finish without excessive toolholder strain.

Indexable system compatibility and straightforward maintenance

The tool is compatible with Korloy indexable inserts, allowing fast insert changes and the use of proven carbide grades for diverse machining tasks. The two-millimetre cutting edge height provides a predictable cut depth per pass, simplifying process planning. Replacement inserts and routine checks keep the tool performing to specification, extending service intervals and reducing downtime. Technical documentation and insert selection guidance are available to support correct setup.
