VT150-1TM Screw-in Milling Cutter — 42 mm, L60 mm, internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

The VT150-1TM Screw-in Milling Cutter is a compact, screw-clamped face milling solution designed for indexable APXT 1003 inserts, offering through-tool coolant and a rigid M16 connection for stable machining in production and jobbing environments.

• 42 mm diameter for stable cutting
• Internal coolant for improved tool life
• M16 screw-in connection, 24.5 mm thread height
• Compatible with APXT 1003 inserts (Korloy)

Increased throughput with stable chip engagement

A larger contact diameter delivers more consistent chip engagement and reduces vibration during passes. The 42 mm diameter and five cutting edges are balanced to increase material removal rates while maintaining surface quality, resulting in fewer passes and shorter cycle times. The screw-in fixing and ridged interface minimise runout, so machining tolerances remain predictable across repeated set-ups — a clear advantage for batch production and mixed-run workshop schedules.

Targeted coolant flow for prolonged cutting performance

Integrated coolant channels bring lubrication and cooling directly to the cutting zone, which reduces flank wear and thermal distortion. The internal coolant lowers operating temperatures and assists chip evacuation at the insert rake face, extending tool life and reducing regrind frequency. For operations sensitive to thermal growth, this targeted cooling helps maintain dimensional stability and improves consistency across long tool life windows.

Simple insert management and secure fastening

Designed for the widely used APXT 1003 indexable insert system and compatible with Korloy inserts, the cutter simplifies tooling logistics and reduces inventory complexity. The tool accepts standard fastening hardware (Torx key T8, fastening screw M2.5x5.5), enabling rapid insert changes and repeatable clamping torque. The combination of a common insert family and accessible fasteners cuts downtime for maintenance and keeps the production flow moving.

Workshop-ready dimensions and handling benefits

With an overall length of L60 mm, a thread height of 24.5 mm and a compact mass of 0.294 kg, the cutter is engineered for easy handling, quick mounting and a low moment of inertia in smaller spindles. The M16 thread offers a robust connection for intermediate cutting forces while remaining compatible with many standard adapter systems. The compact design supports efficient storage and rapid tool changes, which is particularly valuable in dynamic job-shop environments.

FAQ

What insert type is required for this cutter?
The VT150-1TM is designed for APXT 1003 indexable inserts; Korloy-specified APXT 1003 inserts are suitable for standard applications.

Does the tool provide coolant to the cutting edge?
Yes — the VT150-1TM features internal coolant that delivers lubricant and cooling directly to the cutting zone.

How is the cutting head secured to the tool holder?
The cutter uses an M16 screw-in connection with a 24.5 mm thread height for stable, low-runout mounting.

What fastening hardware is used for the inserts?
Insert clamping uses a Torx drive; the specified key is T8 with a fastening screw of M2.5x5.5.

Is the VT150-1TM suitable for heavy roughing?
The combination of a 42 mm diameter, five cutting edges and a robust screw-in interface makes the cutter appropriate for moderate to heavy machining, depending on machine power and cutting parameters; verify cutting data with Metav Werkzeuge for specific applications.
