Watch the iPhone 17 frame-cutting workflow with a 1.0 mm cutter. This K150 tutorial focuses on the SIM tray opening in the phone frame.
This video focuses on iPhone 17 frame machining. The supplied tooling list specifies a 1.0 mm frame cutter, with no inside machining required for this workflow. It is separate from the iPhone 17 Pro Max inside-machining demonstration.
This guide is for repair technicians preparing SIM slot machining as part of a physical SIM modification job. It documents the K150 machining task; the remaining components and modification steps must be checked separately for the device being worked on.

Before Machining: Model, Cutter and Fixture Checks
- Confirm the complete model name. Match iPhone 17 to the job selection and fixture shown in its own tutorial.
- Prepare the listed tooling. Prepare the 1.0 mm frame cutter. The supplied workflow does not call for a separate inside cutter.
- Review positioning and machining before starting. Follow the model-specific demonstration and machine instructions. Cutter diameter alone does not establish spindle speed, feed rate or cutting depth.
- Check the result before continuing the modification. Review the machined area and intended SIM tray fit. If the housing or setup differs from the demonstration, ask the technical team to confirm the next step.
iPhone 17 SIM Slot Machining FAQ
Does iPhone 17 need inside machining?
No inside machining is listed for the iPhone 17 workflow shown here. This statement applies to the supplied setup, not to every possible housing or conversion method.
Can I use another model's settings?
Use the guide for the exact model. For comparison, iPhone 17 Pro Max has its own K150 tooling guide. Shared cutter sizes do not establish identical positioning or machining settings.
Does SIM slot cutting complete an eSIM-to-physical-SIM conversion?
This tutorial covers the mechanical machining task. It does not establish the full electronic conversion process, network compatibility or carrier-unlock status.
