Screw-in cutter VT223TM — Teknik Makina (M10 thread, 20 mm diameter)

The Screw-in cutter VT223TM is a compact screw-in milling head engineered for indexable APMT inserts and short overhang machining in milling and finishing operations.

• M10 thread, screw-in mounting
• 20 mm diameter for compact tooling
• For APMT 0602 indexable inserts
• Five cutting edges for stable cutting
• Lightweight at 0.06 kg

Faster cycle times through a compact, rigid design

The VT223TM's M10 thread and 20 mm diameter provide a compact connection that reduces overhang and vibration, which directly improves surface finish and increases feed rates. The short overall length and lightweight construction translate to less spindle load and faster acceleration between cuts — a tangible efficiency gain in high-mix, short-run production. For shops that measure productivity in cycles per shift, the reduced chatter and improved stability deliver measurable time savings without complex set-up changes.

Simple insert change and tool maintenance for uptime

A single Torx M1.8×4.1 clamping screw (Torx key T6) secures the insert, enabling quick index changes and repeatable seating. The straightforward fastening geometry cuts changeover time and lowers the risk of incorrect clamp torque; this means fewer stoppages and predictable tool life. The unit's five cutting edges allow for balanced cutting forces and consistent chip formation, which helps to extend insert life when paired with suitable feeds and speeds.

Broad compatibility and predictable integration with existing tooling

Designed for use with APMT-style indexable inserts and compatible with Korloy insert ranges, the tool integrates into common inventory systems and reduces the need for specialised holder stock. The standardised screw-in interface supports fast replacement in modular setups and simplifies logistics for maintenance teams. Where process reliability matters, this compatibility reduces the number of toolholders required while maintaining flexibility across different finishing tasks.

For everyday workshop reliability: durability and handling

The VT223TM is manufactured to withstand routine workshop use while remaining light enough for quick handling during set-up changes. The combination of a robust screw-in connection and a simple clamping system makes the tool suited for precision finishing and semi-finishing on a variety of workpieces. When paired with correct inserts and cutting parameters, operators can expect consistent performance and lower rework rates — attributes that support both quality targets and delivery reliability.

FAQ

Which inserts fit this cutter?
The VT223TM is designed for APMT-style indexable inserts (specified as APMT 0602 in the product designation) and works with Korloy APMT-compatible types; verify seat dimensions before assembly.

What is the thread size and mounting method?
This cutter uses an M10 thread with screw-in mounting for secure, compact connection to modular toolholders.

How many cutting edges does the tool support and what is the benefit?
The tool features five cutting edges, which provide balanced cutting forces and contribute to smoother chip removal and more consistent surface finish.

Which Torx screw and key are required for clamping?
Clamping is performed with a Torx M1.8×4.1 screw; a T6 Torx key is required for insert changes.

Is the VT223TM suitable for long-reach milling?
The VT223TM is optimised for short overhang applications; its compact 20 mm diameter and 51 mm overall length are intended to reduce vibration and improve stability in close-coupled setups.
