Screw-in Cutter VT176TM — 32 mm, M16 thread for RPMT 10–12 indexable inserts by Teknik Makina

A Screw-in Cutter VT176TM engineered for efficient indexable-insert milling operations where quick insert replacement and secure screw-in mounting are required

• 32 mm diameter, M16 screw-in thread
• Accepts RPMT 10–12 indexable inserts
• Three cutting edges for balanced cutting
• Lightweight 0.164 kg for easy handling

High compatibility and predictable performance for CNC milling

The VT176TM delivers a predictable cutting cycle thanks to its threaded M16 mounting and compatibility with RPMT 10–12 inserts. The screw-in design reduces runout and secures the head in the machine spindle, which helps to maintain a consistent cutting height of 34.7 mm. For production planners this means repeatable tool offsets and simplified tool life calculations; the interface with Mitsubishi RPMT inserts ensures widely available geometries and grades for different workpiece materials.

Compact design that improves handling and reduces set-up time

A compact overall length of 60 mm and a nominal diameter of 32 mm combine with a weight of 0.164 kg to make the cutter easy to manipulate during tool changes and less demanding on toolholding systems. The three cutting edges are arranged to provide a balanced cut, which moderates vibration and supports improved surface finish without requiring complex toolholders. The included fastening elements — M3.5 locking screw, M3.5x8.5 Torx screw and T15 Torx key — are industry-standard sizes that simplify maintenance and reduce the need for special spares.

Clear technical fitment that aids purchase decisions

The screw-in head is supplied with a thread height of 25.3 mm and a defined cutting height of 34.7 mm, enabling quick verification against existing tool holders and machine clearances. The three-flute layout is suited to light-to-medium material removal rates where insert indexing and repeatability are priorities. Where tool change frequency or tool inventory is a concern, the VT176TM’s compatibility with common RPMT insert formats reduces SKUs and supports leaner stock management.

Practical handling and workshop integration

Assembly and replacement follow straightforward mechanical steps: the cutter is torqued into the mating thread and inserts are secured with the supplied Torx screw. The compact mass and reliable fixing help to limit centrifugal imbalance at operational speeds. For workshops integrating this head into existing tool sets, the familiar screw sizes and insert family facilitate rapid training of machinists and reduce the onboarding time for new operations.

FAQ

Is the cutter compatible with standard RPMT inserts? The VT176TM accepts RPMT 10–12 indexable inserts and is specified for RPMT 12 format; compatibility with Mitsubishi RPMT geometries is confirmed in the product data.

What is the mounting thread and how deep is it? The cutter uses an M16 screw-in thread with a thread height of 25.3 mm, designed for secure screw-in mounting in compatible toolholders.

Which fastening hardware is supplied or required? Assembly requires an M3.5 locking screw, an M3.5x8.5 Torx screw and a T15 Torx key for insert clamping and locking.

How many cutting edges does the head have and what is the benefit? The head features three cutting edges, providing a balanced cut that helps to reduce vibration and improve surface finish during light-to-medium milling.

Is the VT176TM suitable for high-speed machining? The tool is optimised for reliable insert seating and balanced cutting; suitability for high-speed applications depends on the selected insert grade and machine capability — verify insert recommendations for the intended cutting speed.
