TECWERK Solid Carbide End Mill (DIN 6527L Type W), 16 mm, 38/40° helix

The TECWERK solid carbide end mill DIN 6527L Type W is a long 3‑flute cutter designed for efficient roughing and fine finishing of non‑ferrous metals in industrial and workshop environments.

• Solid carbide (VHM) construction
• Special TiAlN coating prevents built-up edge
• 38/40° helix for low‑vibration finishing
• Long shank, DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank

High‑performance milling for non‑ferrous metals

The tool is designed to deliver consistent results when machining aluminium, copper and other non‑ferrous metals. Made from solid carbide (VHM), the cutter combines stiffness with cutting-edge wear resistance, which enables higher feed rates with reliable chip evacuation. The 3‑flute geometry balances material removal and chip space, while the 38/40° helix and unequal helix pitch reduce harmonics, resulting in a smoother cutting action and improved surface finish. These characteristics make the cutter particularly suitable where cycle times and part quality are both priorities.

Extended tool life and reliable chip control

A special TiAlN coating (noted as a specialised anti‑adhesive finish) reduces adhesion and diminishes the risk of built‑up edge when machining sticky alloys, extending tool life and maintaining dimensional accuracy. The 45° protective chamfer at the periphery protects the cutting edges during entry and exit, while the long flute and neck relief support both roughing and finishing passes without premature wear. Together, these design choices lower tool change frequency and contribute to consistent component tolerances in repetitive production.

Stable clamping and versatile machine compatibility

The cutter features a DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank, ensuring secure clamping in standard tool holders and reducing run‑out in high‑precision setups. Its right‑hand cutting orientation and long overall length are suited to operations that require deeper reach or where component geometry limits tool access. Because the tool is built to DIN standards and manufactured for industrial use, it integrates easily into existing tool lists and CAM programmes, simplifying tool management and process planning on CNC milling machines.

Practical guidance for efficient use

For best performance, select cutting parameters that match the workpiece material and machine rigidity: the unequal helix (Z.3) helps dampen vibrations, allowing slightly higher feed per tooth in stable setups; the effective cutting length supports both stepdown and slotting applications within its limits. When processing softer non‑ferrous alloys, moderate speeds combined with the coating’s anti‑adhesive properties will reduce built‑up edge; for harder alloys, focus on stable fixturing and controlled engagement to protect the neck relief and ensure repeatable surface quality.

FAQ

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

How does the unequal helix benefit machining?
An unequal helix (Z.3) on this cutter reduces synchronous vibration and results in a more stable cutting process and improved surface finish for typical TECWERK applications.

What is the shank standard and how does it affect clamping?
The tool uses a DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank, which provides secure clamping in standard holders and helps maintain concentricity during high‑speed milling.

Is this tool suitable for both roughing and finishing?
Yes; the combination of long flutes, a protective chamfer and the TiAlN coating allows the cutter to be used for both roughing and finishing passes on non‑ferrous metals.

Which SKU identifies this exact configuration?
This configuration is supplied as SKU 2000806569NW and conforms to DIN 6527L with a 16 mm diameter and 3‑flute long design.
