Y.T. Indexable T-Slot Cutter (3TR) - Metric - 80 mm Saw Diameter for RDHW/RDKT/RPKT Inserts - Insert Width 8mm (3T2580-R4)

The Y.T. Indexable T-Slot Cutter (Model 3T1640-1.6) is an 80 mm metric milling tool engineered for precise T-slot profiling using RDHW, RDKT, or RPKT 8 mm inserts. Designed for CNC and conventional machining environments, it pairs a tapered-polygon mounting interface with a quick-swap indexing system to deliver repeatable center alignment and streamlined tool management.

• Saw Diameter: 80 mm steel body dimensioned for standard metric T-slot cutting operations.
• Insert Compatibility: Accepts RDHW, RDKT, and RPKT indexable inserts with an 8 mm width through a unified seating system.
• Connection Design: Utilizes a tapered-polygon interface that locks each insert at exact center, preventing runout and maintaining true rotational balance.
• Shank Ecosystem: Integrates with six adapters covering the CAPTO range, offering high modularity where each shank supports up to 400 UFO inserts (over 1,400 configurations across the series).
• Cutting Geometry: Features optimized rake surfaces and dedicated chip channels calibrated for controlled engagement and efficient swarf evacuation.

Stable center positioning straightens the cutting path, which dampens chatter and allows machinists to hold tighter dimensional tolerances without iterative trial runs. The purposeful chip-flow architecture keeps debris moving away from the cut zone, lowering localized heat and extending the productive life of each replaceable edge. By swapping dull inserts instead of discarding or regrinding entire bodies, shop floors eliminate grinder bottlenecks and reduce non-cutting time, keeping production timelines predictable and throughput steady.
