Screw-in milling cutter VT138-1TM for APXT 1003 indexable inserts — 20 mm, internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

The Screw-in milling cutter VT138-1TM is a 20 mm diameter tool with internal coolant, engineered for use with APXT 1003 indexable inserts and designed to streamline insert changes in production environments.

• 20 mm diameter for versatile milling
• Internal coolant for improved chip control
• Compatible with APXT 1003 Korloy inserts
• M10 screw-in interface, 55 mm overall length

Improved process stability through targeted cooling and chip control

The combination of a 20 mm cutting diameter and internal coolant channels places the cooling flow directly at the cutting zone, which reduces tool temperature and supports consistent chip evacuation. For production settings this means fewer interruptions for cleaning and a more stable machining cycle; the focused coolant feed helps to prolong insert life and maintain dimensional consistency while the three cutting edges deliver efficient material removal and balanced cutting forces.

Fast exchange and secure mounting to reduce downtime

A screw-in design with an M10 interface and a thread height of 20 mm enables quick tool changes and precise seating in modular holders. The head is secured with a Torx screw M2.5x5.5 that requires a T8 key, allowing controlled clamping without additional adapters. The compact 55 mm overall length and low mass (0.097 kg) make handling straightforward and reduce spindle load during index changes, which is particularly useful where frequent insert rotations are part of the process.

Broad insert compatibility for flexible inventory management

Designed specifically for APXT 1003 indexable inserts and compatible with inserts from Korloy, this cutter supports a common insert family that simplifies stocking and procurement. The cutter’s geometry, including a 35 mm cutting-edge height, accommodates a range of face and slot milling tasks while ensuring repeatable positioning of each insert. For workshops and small production lines, the standardised interface and widespread insert availability deliver both flexibility and predictable performance.
