VT222TM screw-in cutter body – Screw-in milling cutter, Ø 16 mm, M8 thread (Teknik Makina)

VT222TM screw-in cutter body designed for short overhang milling and indexable insert use in precision workshops and small-scale production

• Compact Ø 16 mm screw-in body
• Secure M8 thread mounting
• Four cutting edges for chip control
• Torx screw M1.8×4.1, key T6

Small diameter, big impact on process stability

The VT222TM is engineered as a compact screw-in cutter body with a Ø 16 mm shank that reduces overhang-induced vibration and improves surface finish in constrained setups. The combination of a short 42 mm overall length and a lightweight construction (0.03 kg) lowers centrifugal and bending forces, which directly translates into longer insert life and fewer rejects. By using a robust M8 thread for mounting, the tool offers a stable mechanical interface with the holder; this stability is particularly relevant when aiming for repeatable results in series machining or when working with thin-walled components where chatter must be avoided.

Secure clamping and straightforward insert changes

Clamping is handled via a precisely specified Torx screw M1.8×4.1 and a T6 key drive, ensuring consistent seating of the indexable insert and minimising runout. The design with four cutting edges supports balanced cutting forces, improving chip evacuation and reducing heat concentration at the cutting zone. For maintenance, the simple Torx connection allows fast insert exchange and repeatable reassembly without specialised tools, which shortens machine downtime and keeps production moving. The engineering choice of standardised fastenings also simplifies spare-part handling for workshop technicians.

Compatibility, applications and workshop advantages

This screw-in cutter body is intended for use with indexable inserts and is listed for use with APMT 0602 style inserts, offering a familiar geometry for many carbide grades and manufacturers such as Korloy. In practice, the tool suits finishing and semi-finishing operations on a wide range of materials where a compact tool body provides an advantage: small-batch work, fixtured components, and multi-axis setups with limited clearance. The robust thread and clamping system contribute to predictable tool performance, which supports cost-effective production planning and inventory control when combined with Metav’s dependable supply chain.

FAQ

What insert type fits this cutter body?
The VT222TM screw-in cutter body accepts indexable inserts specified as for APMT 0602; the geometry is compatible with standard APMT-style inserts and common grades supplied by manufacturers such as Korloy.

Which fastening is used to secure the insert?
Clamping is effected with a Torx screw M1.8×4.1 driven with a T6 key, ensuring repeatable seating and straightforward maintenance for the VT222TM cutter body.

Is the VT222TM suitable for long-overhang milling?
The VT222TM is optimised for short overhang situations; its Ø 16 mm body and 42 mm overall length reduce bending moments and are best for applications where minimising vibration is important.

What production benefits does the compact design deliver?
A smaller-diameter cutter body reduces deflection and improves surface finish; the VT222TM’s lightweight design (0.03 kg) and balanced four cutting edges support stable cutting and longer insert life.

Can this cutter body be used with Korloy inserts?
Yes; the VT222TM is compatible with inserts from Korloy that match the APMT 0602 style, providing flexibility in grade selection for different materials.
