TECWERK Mini Slot Milling Cutter Ø2.5 mm – HSS‑Co8, 3‑flute, Weldon Shank (Short)

The TECWERK Mini Slot Milling Cutter Ø2.5 mm is a short, three‑flute, centre‑cutting tool designed for machining narrow slots and grooves in steels and castings up to approximately 800 N/mm²

• HSS‑Co8 for extended tool life
• 3‑flute geometry with centre cutting
• Weldon shank with 6 mm diameter
• Short version for increased rigidity

Accurate narrow slotting with reduced chatter

The short design and Weldon shank provide a stable clamping interface that reduces overhang and minimises vibration during slotting. With a cutting diameter of Ø2.5 mm and a 6 mm shank, the geometry supports precise, narrow groove production in small components and toolroom parts. The 3‑flute layout balances chip evacuation and surface finish, while the centre cutting capability allows controlled plunge operations where required. These traits combine to reduce scrap rates and improve repeatability in serial and prototyping tasks.

Durable high‑speed steel for demanding workpieces

Manufactured from HSS‑Co8 (high‑speed steel with 8% cobalt), the cutter offers increased red hardness and wear resistance compared with standard HSS. That composition makes the tool especially resilient when machining heat‑generating cuts in steel and castings, with documented suitability for materials up to approx. 800 N/mm². The right‑hand cutting geometry ensures conventional chip formation, supporting consistent tool life and fewer re‑grinds in workshop environments where uptime and predictability matter.

Practical versatility across materials and setups

The tool is very well suited for steel and castings and is conditionally suitable for stainless steel (INOX) and non‑ferrous metals; this means effective use is possible with adapted feeds, spindle speeds and coolant strategies. The cylindrical shank with drive flat (Weldon) secures the cutter in sockets and holders, reducing slippage in interrupted cuts. Supplied as a short version, the cutter is ideal for tight setups, precision fixtures and high‑rigidity milling machines in small‑batch production or repair work. Single‑unit packaging supports targeted replacement and inventory control for workshops.
