Y.T. Indexable T-Slot Cutter (3TS) - Metric - 50 mm Saw Diameter for SNGX/SNGW Inserts - Insert Width 5mm (3TS2550-5.0)

The Y.T. Indexable T-Slot Cutter (3TS) is a metric, 50 mm diameter milling tool engineered for machine shops cutting standardized T-grooves in steel and cast components. Built around a replaceable insert system, it combines steady cutting accuracy with simplified maintenance to keep production cycles moving.

• Saw Diameter: 50 mm cutting profile sized for standard metric T-slot geometries
• Insert Compatibility: Accepts industry-standard SNGX and SNGW inserts with a uniform 5 mm cutting width
• Tapered-Polygon Connection: UFO-style body interface secures inserts for repeatable center positioning after every change
• Chip Evacuation Design: Optimized flute angles clear swarf efficiently to prevent recutting and minimize heat buildup
• Model Reference: Precisely identified as 3T1635-3.0 for accurate inventory tracking and quick reordering

Transitioning from solid HSS or welded cutters to this indexable platform lowers cost-per-part while preserving tight dimensional control. The tapered-polygon mounting system removes the need for tedious alignment checks between tool changes, ensuring each new pass hits the exact same datum for reliable slot consistency. Enhanced chip flow and refined cutting angles support faster feed rates across extended grooves, which protects workpiece surface integrity and reduces spindle load. When an insert edge dulls, you simply rotate or swap the individual segment instead of retiring the full cutter, dramatically cutting setup time and maintaining higher material removal rates throughout repeated manufacturing batches.
