Y.T. Indexable T-Slot Cutter (3TS) - Metric - 50 mm Saw Diameter for SNGX/SNGW Inserts - Insert Width 12mm (3TS2550-12)

The Y.T. Indexable T-Slot Cutter (3TS) is a metric 50 mm end-milling tool built for CNC workshops requiring reliable T-slot and groove profiling. Designed specifically for 12 mm SNGX or SNGW inserts, it replaces traditional welded blades while unifying tool storage through a scalable U.F.O.-style mounting system.

• Saw Diameter: 50 mm metric body engineered for consistent depth control and accurate keyway generation.
• Insert Compatibility: Accepts SNGX and SNGW indexable carbide inserts with a 12 mm cutting width (model 3T1632-2.5).
• Mounting Technology: Unique U.F.O. interface with a tapered-polygon seat that guarantees exact center positioning on the spindle.
• Ecosystem Support: Integrates into a six-shank platform covering the CAPTO range, with individual shanks holding up to 400 interchangeable inserts across nine cutter types.
• Chip Management: Optimized internal geometry and rake angles provide dedicated channels for rapid swarf evacuation during aggressive feeds.

Moving from solid HSS or brazed welding to this modular indexable design eliminates unpredictable runout, keeping cutting forces balanced and extending usable edge life across longer production runs. The straightforward connection mechanism drastically cuts changeover time, while shared shank architecture reduces redundant tool inventory. Faster chip clearance minimizes localized heat buildup and prevents recutting, delivering metal removal rates up to 300 percent higher than conventional cutters while maintaining repeatable tolerances in high-volume CNC environments.
