6mm Single-Flute Cutter 25° Helix Long Shank For Non-Ferrous And Plastics, HSS-Co - TECWERK

The combination of a HSS‑Co cutting grade, a slender 6 mm diameter and a 25° helix results in precise, burr‑reduced machining of thin‑walled non‑ferrous components. Benefit from the long cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HA for safe clamping and order via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for application advice.

TECWERK single‑flute cutter Type W — 6 mm, 25° helix, long

The TECWERK single‑flute cutter Type W is a long‑reach single‑flute end mill designed for machining thin‑walled profiles and delicate components in non‑ferrous metals and plastics.

• Long cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HA
• 6 mm diameter for narrow features
• 25° helix for controlled chip flow

Consistent precision for thin‑walled parts

The long‑reach single‑flute design delivers stable cutting in delicate geometries where standard multi‑flute tools can induce vibration or material distortion. With a 6 mm diameter and a short 1 mm cutting length, the tool is tailored for slotting, profiling and trimming tasks on thin‑walled workpieces. The HSS‑Co grade provides a balanced combination of toughness and wear resistance, reducing the likelihood of chipping in interrupted cuts. Short cutting lengths minimise radial contact, which helps preserve part geometry and reduces secondary finishing time.

Efficient chip evacuation and material compatibility

A 25° helix and single cutting edge create an open flute that promotes rapid chip evacuation, especially important in profile work and pocketing of non‑ferrous alloys. This configuration reduces heat build‑up and the risk of chip re‑cutting, improving surface finish on aluminium and soft alloys. The tool is specified for use with non‑ferrous metals and plastics, and is suitable for aluminium alloys with up to 7% silicon, where chip control and ductility management are critical. Right‑hand cutting and the single‑tooth geometry simplify plunge operations and enable controlled feed rates in sensitive components.

Practical design for workshop handling and setup

The long version with a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HA ensures compatibility with standard collets and chucks, supporting secure clamping for production runs. A 6 mm shank diameter matches the cutter size for concentric mounting and reduced runout. The single‑tooth configuration reduces cutting forces and tool deflection in slender workpieces, allowing higher stock removal without compromising accuracy. No coating is specified, which may be advantageous in applications where adhesion of softer materials must be avoided or where frequent regrinding is planned.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter suitable for?
The TECWERK single‑flute cutter (SKU 2000806614NW) is recommended for non‑ferrous metals and plastics and is suitable for aluminium alloys with a silicon content up to 7%.

Is the shank compatible with common collets?
Yes, the long cylindrical shank complies with DIN 6535 HA, ensuring compatibility with standard collets and holders used in workshop and CNC setups.

How does the single‑flute geometry affect cutting performance?
A single cutting edge reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation, which benefits thin‑walled work and helps achieve cleaner edges with less burr formation.

Is there a coating applied to the tool?
No coating is specified for this cutter; the bare HSS‑Co substrate provides toughness for interrupted cuts and ease of regrinding if required.

Can the cutter be used for plunge operations?
The single‑tooth, right‑hand cutting geometry facilitates controlled plunge cutting in non‑ferrous materials and plastics, with reduced tendency for material deformation.
