End mill DIN 844 Type N, Ø10 mm – HSS‑Co PM short four‑flute cutter, ALCRONA‑coated (TECWERK)

The End mill DIN 844 Type N, Ø10 mm is a short, four‑flute milling cutter designed for right‑hand cutting in demanding workshop and light industrial milling tasks, offering a centre‑cut for plunge capability and a Weldon shank for secure clamping.

• HSS‑Co PM for high wear resistance
• ALCRONA coating for extended life
• Short four‑flute design with centre cut
• Weldon shank with drive flats

Robust substrate and coating for longer tool life

Constructed from HSS‑Co PM, this cutter combines high hardness with improved red‑hardness for longer life under cyclic thermal loads. The ALCRONA coating reduces friction and wear, which translates into more consistent cutting performance and fewer tool changes. These material and surface treatments are particularly beneficial when machining tougher grades, where tool wear would otherwise limit productivity. The result is greater uptime and predictable tool replacement intervals.

Geometry engineered to reduce vibration and improve stability

The short configuration and unevenly spaced flutes reduce chatter during interrupted cuts, while the conical flute root increases overall rigidity. A centre‑cut enables limited plunging without a pilot drill, supporting faster set‑ups in batch production. The Weldon shank with a drive flat provides axial and torsional security in standard toolholders, ensuring repeatable positioning and reduced risk of slippage under load.

Clear material suitability and practical application limits

Designed for milling materials with low to medium tensile strength up to approximately 1,000 N/mm², the cutter performs very well on steel, stainless steel and castings, while aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals are conditionally suitable depending on chip evacuation and feed settings. Special alloys are machinable with appropriate parameters. Understanding these limits helps plan processes: when operation falls within the specified range, the tool delivers the best balance of surface finish and component integrity.

Benefits for the workshop: predictable results and reduced tooling complexity

Using this short four‑flute cutter supports tight process control and consistent surface quality across runs, which simplifies downstream inspection and reduces rework. The combination of substrate, coating and flute design lowers the risk of unexpected tool failure, contributing to smoother production flow. For procurement and workshop managers, the tool’s compatibility with standard Weldon holders and the DIN 844 specification eases integration into existing tool inventories and tool‑life management systems.
