Screw-in Cutter VT221TM

Screw-in Cutter VT221TM is a compact, robust milling tool designed for indexable-insert operations and medium-duty finishing in metalworking applications

• 12 mm Diameter
• M6 Threaded Shank
• Three Cutting Edges for stability
• Compatible with Korloy APMT 0603 Inserts
• Torx T6 fastening for secure clamping

Precision Engineering for Consistent Machining

The Cutter combines a rigid M6 Thread with a 12 mm Diameter, providing a stable connection between Tool and Machine. The Three Cutting Edges reduce vibration and distribute cutting forces, which improves Surface Quality and extends Insert life. The generous Thread Height of 15 mm secures the cutter in the holder and supports repeatable positioning — a decisive advantage where Precision and process reliability matter most.

Compatibility and Insert Handling for Faster Setup

Designed to accept indexable Inserts of the APMT 0603 format and suitable for Inserts from Korloy, the holder simplifies tooling logistics in mixed-vendor environments. Indexable Inserts are replaceable carbide tips that enable fast changeover without regrinding; the VT221TM secures them with a Torx Screw M1.8x4.1, tightened using a Torx Key T6. This familiar fastening method allows controlled clamping and straightforward replacement, reducing downtime in the Workshop.

Operational Benefits that Improve Throughput

With Three Cutting Edges and a compact overall Length of 40 mm, the tool supports smooth cutting at moderate feeds, offering a balance between Chip Evacuation and surface finish. The configuration helps to maintain cutting stability during interrupted cuts and light finishing passes, making the cutter well suited for steel and cast-iron machining where consistency and repeatability are required. The simple design also minimises setup time, supporting efficient shop-floor workflows.

Simple Assembly and Reliable Service Life

Installation is straightforward: screw the VT221TM into the mating M6 thread and secure the Insert with the supplied Torx Screw using a T6 Key. Regular inspection of the Screw and Insert seating prevents loosening under dynamic loads. If questions arise about Insert selection or recommended cutting data for a specific material, Metav’s technical advisers can offer practical guidance and supply matching Inserts and spare screws to keep production running.
