Product description

BT FMB face mill arbors are listed with BT30, BT40 and BT50 interfaces and metric mounting pilots. The pilot d is the cutter-mounting dimension, not the cutter's outside diameter. In the BT40 range, FMB22 has a 22 mm pilot and five listed L1 choices, while FMB27 has a 27 mm pilot and a different set of lengths. Start with the cutter mounting drawing, then select the interface and reach.

BT40-FMB22 options

This row lists d = 22 mm, D = 48 mm and L1 = 45, 60, 100, 150 or 200 mm.

BT40-FMB27 options

This row lists d = 27 mm, D = 60 mm and L1 = 45, 60, 90 or 105 mm. Its length choices differ from FMB22.

Cutter mounting details

Match the pilot, drive features and fastening arrangement to the cutter drawing. A pilot diameter does not identify all of the mounting hardware.

Selecting BT40 FMB22 by the mounting bore

The BT40-FMB22 row lists a 22 mm pilot and L1 options of 45, 60, 100, 150 and 200 mm. Here, 22 identifies the mounting pilot, not the face mill’s outside diameter. Check the cutter mounting drawing, drive features and fixing arrangement before choosing the arbor.

Start an inquiry with this catalog row. Specify one required L1 option and attach or describe the cutter mounting details. State which fixing components should be included; a listed length does not confirm stock or a complete cutter assembly.

BT50 FMB22: confirm D for the selected length

The BT50-FMB22 row lists a 22 mm pilot, eight L1 options and D = 48/60 mm. It does not assign either D value to a particular L1. Do not assume that both diameters are available at every length, or carry over the BT40-FMB22 value.

Request a BT50-FMB22 drawing and quote. Specify your required L1, cutter mounting drawing and available clearance; ask for the matching D and included fixing components to be confirmed.

Compare the mounting system, not only the name

The catalog separates FMB metric-pilot arbors from the inch-based pilot dimensions on the FMA page. A similar product name or photograph does not establish a match. Cutter diameter and fixture clearance should also be checked separately from the mounting pilot.

Compare BT FMA face mill arbors or review shell milling cutters. Related products still require a dimension-by-dimension fit check.

Application scenarios

Typical selection contexts for this series, not customer project claims. Confirm machine compatibility and cutting conditions for your setup.

Face milling

Mounting an appropriately matched face mill on a BT machining center.

Shell cutter setups

Reviewing pilot and drive geometry for a compatible shell cutter arrangement.

Reach-sensitive fixtures

Comparing the listed arbor lengths where the workpiece requires additional access.

Inspection & order review

Specify the dimensions, tolerances and records your order requires. Acceptance criteria must be agreed for the selected model.

Catalog fields to check

  • Ordering family
  • Pilot d
  • L1 options
  • D

Check the drawing reference faces and units. A catalog size alone does not define a tolerance or an inspection method.

Records to request

List any required dimensional report, material document or model identification photograph in your inquiry. Confirm availability and scope in the quotation.

For a drawing-based part, include the drawing revision and identify the critical dimensions. Website photographs are not inspection reports.

Packaging & delivery

Agree the packing method and photo requirements when confirming your order.

Order-specific photo confirmation

No verified shipment photographs for this series are currently published. Include selected-model, protective-packing and outer-label photos in your order requirements.

Product FAQ

Selection questions for BT FMB Face Mill Arbors.

Request a quote
What is the distinction between FMB and FMA in this catalog?

FMB is organized around metric pilots. FMA lists inch-based pilot dimensions; confirm the cutter's actual mounting specification.

Can I select the arbor using the face mill's outer diameter?

No. Use the mounting bore, drive features and fastening arrangement as well as the cutter's envelope.

Which lengths are listed for BT40 FMB22 and BT50 FMB22?

BT40-FMB22 lists L1 = 45, 60, 100, 150 and 200 mm. BT50-FMB22 lists 45, 90, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 mm. Choose from the row for the machine interface; listed lengths are not evidence of stock or approval for a particular cutting setup.

Are the related shell cutters guaranteed to fit?

No. They are related tooling to compare; pilot units, dimensions, drive and fixing details must all match.
