TECWERK Solid Carbide End Mill DIN 6527L, D 16 mm — 3‑flute, 38/40° helix, TiAlN coated

The TECWERK Solid Carbide End Mill DIN 6527L is a long, three‑flute cutter designed for efficient roughing and finishing of non‑ferrous materials in demanding workshop and light industrial settings

• Solid carbide construction
• TiAlN anti‑weld coating
• 38/40° unequal helix for low vibration
• Centre cut for plunge capability

Precision cutting for non‑ferrous components

The long solid carbide cutter delivers a reliable balance between tool life and surface quality when machining aluminium, copper and other non‑ferrous metals. Its TiAlN coating reduces the tendency for material to adhere to the cutting edges, lowering built‑up edge formation and extending effective tool life. The tool is specified for both roughing and finishing operations, allowing fewer tool changes and steady cycle times in batch production or prototype runs. The cutter’s centre‑cut geometry enables controlled plunge cutting without sacrificing finish.

Stability and surface finish through helix and flute design

An unequal 38/40° helix combined with a 3‑flute configuration improves chip evacuation and suppresses harmonics during cutting, which directly benefits surface integrity and dimensional stability. The uneven helix pitch reduces synchronous vibration, meaning better repeatability on long tool paths and tighter tolerances with less rework. The long version of this cutter, with neck relief and a cylindrical shank, maintains clearance in deep pockets while keeping the cutting edges free from rubbing.

Robust geometry and standardised shank for easy integration

Manufactured to DIN 6527 L with a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB, the cutter integrates smoothly with common collet systems and toolholders in industry. A small 0.2 mm, 45° protection chamfer shields the margin against damage during handling and tool changes. The design includes neck relief to prevent contact in deeper operations and a right‑hand cutting orientation compatible with standard CNC and manual milling setups.

Efficiency and operational confidence

With a combination of solid carbide substrate, centre cut capability and a specialised TiAlN surface finish, this cutter supports higher cutting speeds and reduced interruptions for cleaning or edge dressing. The result is improved throughput and predictable finishes, especially in production environments where non‑ferrous parts must meet visual and dimensional requirements. Metav’s technical advisers can help select machining parameters to match the specific aluminium or copper alloys in use, supporting a smooth introduction into existing workflows.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited to?
This TECWERK solid carbide end mill is optimised for aluminium, copper and other non‑ferrous metals, providing strong chip evacuation and reduced adhesion with the TiAlN coating.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts?
Yes, the cutter features a centre cut geometry, which allows controlled plunge machining as well as conventional slotting and side milling operations.

How does the unequal helix benefit machining?
The unequal 38/40° helix reduces synchronous vibration, improving surface finish and stability during longer tool paths and aggressive feed rates.

Is the shank compatible with standard toolholders?
The shank conforms to DIN 6535 HB, ensuring compatibility with standard collets and holders used in most workshop and CNC environments.

Does the coating prevent built‑up edge on aluminium?
The TiAlN special coating is designed to reduce material adhesion and built‑up edge, particularly when machining softer non‑ferrous alloys, contributing to more consistent finishes.
