Take advantage of the combination of precise single-flute geometry, HSS‑Co heat resistance and a 25° helix to achieve controlled chip evacuation and reliable machining of thin-walled non‑ferrous components; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application support

Single-flute end mill Type W, 5 mm diameter, long, 25° helix – TECWERK

A single-flute end mill Type W designed for precision machining of thin-walled non‑ferrous profiles and technical plastics with a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HA

• Single cutting edge for low-vibration cutting
• HSS‑Co for improved heat resistance and resharpening
• 25° helix for smooth chip evacuation
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HA long version

Reliable chip control for thin-walled workpieces

The single-flute layout delivers a clear advantage when machining delicate or thin‑walled components: the single cutting edge reduces contact time per revolution and lowers the tendency to chatter, producing cleaner edges on fragile contours. Combined with the 25° helix, chips are guided away from the cutting zone efficiently, which minimises clogging and reduces the risk of deformation in profiles and shells. For production environments where repeatability matters, this geometry supports consistent part quality and fewer reworks

Material and geometry that extend tool life

Manufactured from HSS‑Co (cobalt alloyed high‑speed steel), the cutter balances toughness with heat resistance, making it suited to intermittent cuts and applications where tool regrinding may be required. The long flute and long tool variant increase reach for deeper pockets or extended features while the 5 mm diameter and short cutting length make the tool suitable for fine finishing and trimming tasks. These characteristics together reduce the probability of premature fracture and support a predictable tool‑change rhythm on the shop floor

Machine compatibility and mounting benefits

The tool features a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HA, providing a standardised interface for collets and chucks common in milling and CNC centres. With a 5 mm shank diameter matching the nominal cutting diameter, runout is minimised when the spindle and clamping are correctly set, supporting high‑precision results. The cutter is right‑hand cutting, compatible with conventional milling directions and straightforward to integrate into existing toolsets without special fixturing

Targeted applications and process advantages

Specifically optimised for non‑ferrous metals and plastics, the tool is recommended for machining thin‑walled profiles, housings and decorative trims where material removal must be controlled. It is suitable for aluminium alloys with silicon content up to 7%, delivering clean surface finishes and reduced burr formation. The single‑edge design also simplifies chip control in automated production, lowering cycle time variability and helping to maintain throughput in medium‑volume operations
