Screw-in milling cutter VT245TM — for XNEX 0403 indexable inserts, Ø 20 mm, M10 thread (Teknik Makina)

The Screw-in milling cutter VT245TM is a compact toolholder designed for SECO XNEX 0403 indexable inserts, engineered for precise light to medium milling tasks in job shops and maintenance workshops

• Compact M10 thread holder, Ø 20 mm
• Compatible with SECO XNEX 0403 inserts
• Three cutting edges, 28 mm cutting height
• Torx fixing screw M2.5×5.5, T7 key
• Lightweight 73 g for dynamic milling

Predictable insert interchange for efficient production

The VT245TM supports SECO XNEX 0403 indexable inserts, enabling quick insert replacement without regrinding. Using standardised insert geometry reduces downtime and simplifies inventory: spare inserts are fitted in seconds, which shortens machine idle time and lowers tooling costs. The design suits serial tasks where repeatability is critical, and the indexable system ensures a consistent cutting edge each time, improving surface finish and dimensional stability.

Small diameter, big stability — improved machining dynamics

A compact Ø 20 mm body with an M10 thread and a modest mass of 73 g delivers a favourable balance between rigidity and spindle load. The short overall length (46 mm) and three cutting edges provide a stable cut path and reduce chatter at typical spindle speeds for light to medium milling. For operators unfamiliar with indexable tooling, three edges means fewer insert changes per production interval compared with single-edge systems, so cycle planning becomes simpler and more economical.

Simple fixation and maintenance for uninterrupted workflows

Fast and secure clamping is achieved via the supplied Torx fixing screw (M2.5×5.5) tightened with a T7 key, which keeps the insert pocket immobilised under cutting forces. The screw-in concept with an 18 mm thread engagement ensures a reliable mechanical connection to the holder or arbor. Maintenance is straightforward: the fixing hardware is standard, replacement is quick, and the robust connection reduces the risk of unexpected insert movement during operation, supporting consistent process quality.

Right for workshops and small production lines

This toolholder is aimed at workshops, maintenance departments and small batch manufacturers who need a compact, insert-compatible solution that minimises tooling complexity. The combination of standard insert compatibility, a compact profile and easy maintenance makes the tool suitable for retrofit operations and modern small-scale machining centres where space, repeatability and accessibility matter most. The product’s features favour predictable tooling costs and streamlined tool management.

FAQ

What inserts fit this toolholder?
The VT245TM is designed for XNEX 0403 indexable inserts, which are widely available and specified for the holder’s pocket geometry.

Is the fixing screw standard or specialised?
A standard Torx screw (M2.5×5.5) secures the insert; a T7 key is required for tightening and loosening.

Can this holder be used on small milling centres?
Yes, the compact Ø 20 mm body and M10 thread make the holder suitable for small machines where space and tool projection are constrained.

How does the three-edge configuration benefit production?
Three cutting edges increase the number of available cutting positions per insert, reducing replacements and improving cost-efficiency for recurring tasks.
