Indexable Milling Cutter Shanks | C16 C20 C25 C32 | BEYOND
BEYOND cylindrical-shank indexable milling cutters. 11 series covering square shoulder, high-feed face, T-slot, chamfer, end mill, and countersink applications.
The BEYOND milling shank series is a comprehensive catalog of cylindrical-shank indexable milling cutter bodies. Each shank uses a C-shank format (C16, C20, C25, C32) that fits standard CNC milling chucks and hydraulic holders, and accepts replaceable carbide inserts following the ISO 1832 geometry standard. One shank covers multiple insert geometries, so a single C25 holder can run square shoulder, high-feed face, copy-mill, and chamfer inserts by swapping the insert — not the shank.
This collection is part of the broader BEYOND tool holder family and is designed to be used with any ISO 1832 standard insert from the premium insert master catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What's the difference between BAP and EAP milling shanks?
BAP (184 SKUs, the largest series) is the general-purpose right-angle face/shoulder mill with APMT 1135 / 1604 inserts. EAP (29 SKUs) is a similar but stiffer design for heavier-duty 90° shoulder milling with higher feed rates. Use BAP for most general jobs; switch to EAP when you need higher rigidity for cast iron or interrupted cuts.
2. Can I use Sandvik R390 inserts in BEYOND R390 shanks?
Yes — the BEYOND R390 series is dimensionally compatible with Sandvik R390-11T3 and R390-18 inserts. The shank geometry, pocket dimensions, and clamp angles match Sandvik's specs, so you can run genuine Sandvik R390 inserts in a BEYOND shank (and vice versa) with no fitting issues. This makes the BEYOND shank a cost-effective alternative for Sandvik-tooled shops.
3. What does the C16 / C20 / C25 shank code mean?
The "C" prefix means cylindrical shank (round), and the number is the shank diameter in millimeters. C16 = 16mm round shank, C20 = 20mm, C25 = 25mm, C32 = 32mm. Cylindrical shanks fit standard milling chucks, hydraulic holders (like HSK63 / HSK100 shrink-fit), and direct collet adapters. This is the most common shank format in CNC milling worldwide.
4. How do I know which insert fits my shank?
Each shank series is designed for specific insert codes (see the "Compatible Inserts by Series" table above). The insert code is usually stamped on the shank body near the pocket, and the same code is in the product SKU. For example, BAP300R-C25-26-150-2T uses APMT 1135 inserts with a 11.5mm IC and 3.5mm thickness. The corresponding insert is APMT 1135-PM (or similar grade like APMT 1135-HF for high-feed).
5. What's the maximum depth of cut for these shanks?
Standard shanks have a cutting depth of 1-3mm for square shoulder / face milling. For deeper cuts (5-10mm), use the BAP 300R series with longer shank reach (the 200mm / 250mm / 300mm reach variants). For very deep slots, use the T-series or TJU slotting cutters which are designed for deeper cuts. The shank reach (R or "L" in the SKU) determines the maximum depth the cutter can reach into the workpiece.
6. Can I get a custom shank with non-standard length or shank diameter?
Yes. BEYOND offers custom shank manufacturing for orders of 10+ pieces. Common custom requests include non-standard shank diameters (e.g., C18 or C22), longer reach, special coatings (TiN, AlTiN, DLC), and custom insert pockets. Contact sales at chao@cnchome-beyond.com or WhatsApp +86 15990663752 for a custom quote. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
