Overview
ISO 6986:2013 - "Side and face milling (slotting) cutters with indexable inserts - Dimensions" specifies the dimensional system for side-and-face (slotting) milling cutters that use indexable inserts. The standard defines the cutter body dimensions (referenced in Figure 1 and Table 1) and lists a set of standardized cutter diameters. The shape and detailed geometry of the inserts themselves are intentionally left to the manufacturer’s discretion. This second edition (2013) is a minor revision of ISO 6986:1983.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Specifies the dimensions of side and face (slotting) cutters with indexable inserts; insert shapes are not standardized.
- Dimensional data: Cutter diameters and related body dimensions are defined in Figure 1 and Table 1 (dimensions given in millimetres). Table 1 includes common cutter diameters (for example: 80, 100, 125, 160, 200 mm) and associated dimensional parameters.
- Nominal cutting edge angle: The standard notes a 90° nominal cutting edge angle for inserts used in these cutters.
- Bore and key dimensions: The dimensions of the bore and key are specified to be in accordance with ISO 240 (Milling cutters - interchangeability dimensions for cutter arbors or cutter mandrels).
- Normative and informative references: Annex A provides a mapping between ISO 6986 designations and the ISO 13399 cutting-tool data representation series (useful for digital tool data exchange).
Applications and practical value
- Standardizes physical dimensions for side-and-face/slotting cutters to ensure interchangeability between cutter bodies, machine arbors, and toolholders.
- Used by:
- Tool manufacturers designing cutter bodies and hubs.
- CNC tooling engineers specifying cutters for machining operations.
- Procurement and supply-chain teams for unambiguous ordering specifications.
- CAD/CAM and tooling-data managers for creating standardized tool libraries and enabling data exchange.
- Quality and inspection teams verifying conformity to dimensional requirements.
- Practical benefits: simplifies selection and replacement of tooling, reduces compatibility issues with arbors/mandrels, and supports consistent tooling metadata for Industry 4.0 and CAM systems.
Related standards
- ISO 240 - Milling cutters: interchangeability dimensions for cutter arbors or cutter mandrels (normative reference for bore/key).
- ISO 13399 (all parts) - Cutting tool data representation and exchange; Annex A of ISO 6986 relates its dimensional symbols to ISO 13399 identifiers (useful for digital tool-data workflows).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
