Screw-in milling cutter VT123TM by Teknik Makina — Ø32 mm, M16 thread

The Screw-in milling cutter VT123TM is a compact screw-in cutter body engineered for use with RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, providing a reliable solution for general milling tasks in CNC machining and toolroom operations.

• For RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts
• Ø32 mm solid cutter body
• M16 screw-in thread for secure mounting
• Three cutting edges for smooth chip flow
• Cutting height 35.5 mm, overall length 60 mm

Consistent clamping for repeatable machining results

The screw-in design with a robust M16 thread ensures a rigid tool mounting that minimises runout and vibration. This repeatability reduces dimensional scatter across batch runs and helps maintain surface quality when switching tools or inserts. The 32 mm diameter of the tool body stabilises the cutting zone, enabling predictable tool life and fewer secondary operations.

Reliable insert system for controlled chip removal

Designed for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts, the cutter body supports three cutting edges, which balance material removal rate and surface finish. The insert geometry combined with a cutting height of 35.5 mm allows secure seating and consistent cutting engagement; this makes the holder suitable for finishing and semi-finishing passes where consistent chip control and tool rotation stability are essential.

Fast, maintenance-friendly fastening to keep downtime low

The cutting head is secured using an M3.5 locking screw and a Torx M3.5x8.5 fastener that accepts a T15 key, allowing quick insert changes and straightforward re-tightening on the shop floor. The simple fastening arrangement reduces service time per tool change and supports predictable maintenance intervals, contributing directly to higher machine uptime and lower total machining costs.

Compact, lightweight design for flexible machine integration

With an overall length of 60 mm and a weight of 0.177 kg, the cutter body is compact enough for tight-tooling envelopes and compatible with automatic tool changers on modern CNC centres. The reduced mass shortens acceleration periods and lessens centrifugal load on the spindle, which can be advantageous in high-speed applications and when tool clearance is limited.

Specification-focused benefits for production flow

A combination of secure thread mounting, standardised insert compatibility and straightforward fastening delivers measurable benefits: fewer setup adjustments, standardised spare parts inventory and reproducible cutting conditions. These technical advantages translate into practical productivity gains and easier process planning for workshop managers and production engineers.

FAQ

Which insert type fits this cutter?
The cutter is designed for RDMT 12T3 indexable inserts; the VT123TM supports standard seating for that insert geometry ensuring correct chip evacuation and repeatable clamping.

How is the cutter secured in the spindle or arbor?
The VT123TM uses an M16 thread for screw-in mounting; the tool body is then fixed by an M3.5 locking screw and a Torx M3.5x8.5 fastener (T15).

How many cutting edges does the cutter provide and why does that matter?
The body accommodates three cutting edges, which offers a compromise between chip load distribution and surface finish — suitable for both semi-finishing and finishing operations where steady cutting forces are required.

Is the Torx key included for insert changes?
Insert retention is via a Torx M3.5x8.5 screw (T15). Tooling accessories are usually supplied separately; please check the order details for included items when purchasing the VT123TM.
