Screw-in milling cutter VT168-1TM — 40 mm diameter with internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

A Screw-in milling cutter VT168-1TM engineered for secure mounting of AP-- 1604 indexable inserts, designed for reliable face and shoulder milling in CNC operations

• 40 mm diameter for stable material removal
• Internal coolant for improved chip evacuation
• Compatible with AP-- 1604 Korloy inserts
• M16 screw-in thread, 4 cutting edges

Increased productivity from a compact cutter

The compact design combines a 40 mm diameter with a short overall length to deliver stable cutting conditions while reducing tool overhang. With four cutting edges, the head balances metal removal rate and surface finish, enabling higher feed rates without compromising process reliability. The M16 screw-in interface provides fast tool changes and a repeatable concentric seat, which reduces spindle downtime and supports predictable cycle times for batch production.

Improved chip control thanks to internal coolant

Built-in internal coolant channels deliver cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone, reducing heat and facilitating efficient chip evacuation. This lowers the risk of recutting and extends insert life, particularly during heavy or interrupted cuts. For operations where coolant delivery determines surface integrity and tool longevity, the integrated coolant option supports consistent cutting performance and helps maintain dimensional accuracy across longer production runs.

Straightforward maintenance and insert compatibility

Compatibility with AP-- 1604 indexable inserts from Korloy makes insert sourcing and replacement straightforward, while the supplied fastening concept uses a Torx T15 drive and M4x10 fixing screws for secure clamping. The clear separation between insert seat and cutter body simplifies insert changes and inspection. For maintenance procedures, the Torx connection ensures reproducible torque application and reduces the likelihood of damaged screws during routine servicing.

Practical dimensions for workshop planning

Key specifications assist in machine setup and inventory decisions: total length 60 mm and a lightweight body at 0.238 kg reduce spindle load and allow for nimble toolpaths on compact CNC machines. The thread engagement height of 24.5 mm and a cutting-edge height of 24 mm contribute to a robust connection and correct insert projection, helping to achieve consistent depth control without additional adjustments. These measurable values support precise programming and predictable machining outcomes.
