VT174TM screw-in cutter (25 mm, M12 thread) by Teknik Makina

The VT174TM is a screw-in cutter designed for RPMT 10–12 indexable inserts, optimised for small-diameter milling and accurate finishing in limited workspaces.

• Compact 25 mm diameter for tight spaces
• M12 screw-in shank for secure mounting
• Compatible with RPMT 10–12 indexable inserts
• Two cutting edges for efficient material removal
• Lightweight at 0.109 kg for reduced spindle load

High-precision cutting in a compact form

The VT174TM combines a 25 mm diameter with a short 55 mm overall length to deliver accurate machining where accessibility is limited. Its compact geometry reduces tool overhang and vibration, which helps maintain a consistent surface finish and prolongs insert life. The tool’s two cutting edges provide a balance between material removal and control, making the cutter suitable for semi-finish and finish passes. For operations requiring repeatable results in small pockets or narrow jaws, this design ensures the required dimensional stability.

Secure clamping and straightforward insert handling

Clamping is achieved with an M12 screw-in interface and a dedicated M3.5 locking screw system, tightened using a T15 Torx key, which guarantees repeatable seat pressure and simple servicing. The use of standard RPMT 10–12 indexable inserts (RPMT 12) simplifies supply chains and reduces setup time when changing inserts. A driven, indexed insert system allows for rapid replacement and minimal downtime; the combination of M3.5x8.5 Torx screws and accessible tool geometry ensures service can be carried out quickly and safely at the machine.

Material compatibility and machining performance

Although intended primarily for general milling tasks with RPMT inserts, the cutter’s design supports a range of typical workshop materials when used with the appropriate grade of insert from recognised suppliers such as Mitsubishi. The short thread height of 22 mm and a cutting height of 33 mm provide a stable support for the insert, improving edge life under moderate cutting forces. The lightweight construction (0.109 kg) reduces additional load on the spindle, which is beneficial for high-speed finishing and for machines with lower power reserves.

Operational benefits and workshop integration

For production environments seeking predictable throughput, the VT174TM offers a compact, easy-to-manage tool body that integrates with existing insert assortments. The screw-in M12 mounting reduces inventory complexity compared with proprietary holders, while compatibility with widespread RPMT 10–12 inserts keeps replenishment straightforward. The tool’s modest mass and short overhang contribute to lower dynamic stress on the machine spindle, assisting with longer-term tool life and reduced maintenance intervals—attributes that support operational efficiency on the shop floor.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this cutter?
The cutter accepts RPMT 10–12 indexable inserts; the body is specified for RPMT 12 sizes and works with common grades from Mitsubishi.

How is the insert secured and serviced?
Inserts are secured with an M3.5 locking screw tightened with a T15 Torx key; the M3.5x8.5 Torx screw allows quick replacement and reliable clamping.

Is the VT174TM suitable for tight internal pockets?
Yes — the 25 mm diameter and 55 mm overall length make the tool appropriate for confined spaces where reduced overhang improves stability.

What are the key mounting requirements?
The tool uses an M12 screw-in shank; ensure the machine arbor or adapter accepts M12 screw-in holders and observe correct mounting torque.

Will the cutter suit high-speed finishing?
The lightweight body (0.109 kg) and short overhang support high-speed finishing when paired with appropriate inserts and machine parameters.
