TECWERK long solid carbide end mill, 12 mm — centre‑cutting, TiAlN coated

The TECWERK long solid carbide end mill designed to machine aluminium, copper and other non‑ferrous metals with improved surface quality and reduced chatter.

Solid carbide with special TiAlN coating
38/40° variable helix, Z=3 for low vibration
Long design with centre‑cutting for slotting
Excellent for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals

Precision and tool life from material and coating

Constructed from solid carbide and finished with a special TiAlN coating, this cutter reduces adhesion and heat build‑up during high‑duty milling. The coating's anti‑sticking properties increase edge retention, which translates into longer intervals between tool changes and steadier process capability. Combined with the specified helix geometry, the result is a consistent surface finish and more predictable tool life in serial production environments where process stability matters.

Geometry that lowers vibration and improves surface finish

The cutter features a 38/40° helix with Z=3 flutes and an unequal helix pitch, which disrupts harmonic excitation and reduces chatter. As a centre‑cutting tool with a long profile, it enables both slotting and axial plunging where required, reducing the need for tool changes and secondary operations. These geometric choices support efficient roughing followed by finishing in fewer passes, delivering measurable cycle‑time benefits for component batches.

Shank compatibility and application‑focused design

A 12 mm shank with cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB ensures compatibility with common collet chucks and toolholders, while the DIN 6527 L Type W long shank gives additional reach for recessed features. The tool is right‑hand cutting and includes a small protective chamfer, helping to avoid edge damage in handling. The combination of long reach and neck relief is particularly advantageous when working on aluminium profiles, copper components and similar non‑ferrous alloys, enabling reliable machining in both prototype and series production.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK solid carbide end mill is designed primarily for aluminium, copper and other non‑ferrous metals, offering very good suitability for these materials due to the geometry and coating.

Can this tool plunge as well as mill?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows axial plunging and slotting; the long geometry provides reach for recessed features while maintaining stability.

How does the unequal helix affect performance?
The unequal helix (Z=3 with variable pitch) breaks up harmonic frequencies for a low‑vibration run, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of chatter during milling.

Is the shank compatible with standard holders?
The cylindrical 12 mm shank conforms to DIN 6535 HB, ensuring compatibility with common collet chucks and toolholders used in workshop and production environments.

Which standard does the tool comply with?
The cutter is produced to DIN 6527 L specification, Type W, indicating the long design and dimensional conformity for industrial use.
