Screw-in Milling Cutter VT196TM — Ø42 mm, M16 Thread (Teknik Makina)

The Screw-in Milling Cutter VT196TM is a compact screw-in milling head engineered for general machining tasks using BLMP 0603 indexable inserts, offering secure clamping and straightforward tool changes.

• M16 screw-in thread for secure clamping
• Ø42 mm cutting diameter
• Compatible with BLMP 0603 inserts (Taegutec)
• Two cutting edges, 100° cutting angle

Secure clamping for consistent, precise cuts

A robust M16 thread combined with a screw-in clamping design gives the tool high rigidity and reduced runout, which directly improves surface finish and dimensional consistency. The compact Ø42 mm head and a modest overall length of 68 mm keep the tool close to the holder axis, increasing stability when face milling or profiling. At just 0.044 kg, the lightweight construction minimises inertia without sacrificing stiffness, so cycle times remain stable and tool life is optimised through repeatable mounting.

Rapid insert changes that lower downtime

Designed for BLMP 0603 indexable inserts, the cutter uses a single Torx M3x6.5 screw secured with a T8 key, enabling quick and safe insert replacement. The system of two cutting edges with a 100° cutting angle balances chip control and cutting forces for predictable behaviour across a range of steels and non-ferrous materials. Using indexable inserts reduces overall tooling cost since worn cutting edges are replaced rather than the whole body, translating into better uptime and a leaner consumables budget.

Compact tool geometry for versatile workshop use

The modest footprint of this screw-in head makes it suitable for tight setups and multi-spindle arrangements where clearance is limited. Compatibility with Taegutec BLMP 0603 insert variants extends tooling options and simplifies procurement. The combination of secure screw-in fixation, a standardised interface and the cutter’s geometry supports both single-part production and batch manufacturing, delivering practical benefits for small workshops and industrial lines alike. Metav’s logistics and quality filter in Emmerich ensure dependable supply and consistent product quality for production-critical tooling.
