K150 video guide to machining inside the SIM slot area with a T-shaped cutter, for technicians preparing physical SIM conversion projects.
This demonstration focuses on machining inside the SIM slot area of iPhone 17 Pro Max. The specified inside tool is a T-shaped cutter. The model list also records a 1.0 mm frame cutter, but this video should not be treated as a complete frame-machining tutorial.
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 Pro Max to the job selection and fixture shown in its own tutorial.
- Prepare the listed tooling. Keep the 1.0 mm frame cutter and T-shaped cutter for their respective operations.
- 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 Pro Max SIM Slot Machining FAQ
Does iPhone 17 Pro Max need inside machining?
Yes, the supplied K150 workflow includes inside machining with a T-shaped cutter. The video on this page focuses on that inside operation.
Can I use another model's settings?
Use the guide for the exact model. For comparison, iPhone 17 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.
