16mm Cylindrical End Mill HSS-Co PM, ALCRONA Coating, 4 Flutes Short, DIN 844, Weldon Shank - TECWERK

Benefit from the combination of HSS‑Co PM toughness, ALCRONA wear resistance and a secure Weldon shank for reliable clamping and consistent surface finish; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

TECWERK End Mill DIN 844 Type N, 16 mm – HSS‑Co PM, ALCRONA‑coated (Weldon shank, 4‑flute)

The TECWERK End Mill DIN 844 Type N is a short, centre‑cutting 4‑flute cutter engineered for precise milling of steel, stainless steel and cast iron in medium‑duty industrial applications.

• Short 4‑flute design for high rigidity
• ALCRONA coating for extended tool life
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• Vibration reduction by unequal flute spacing

Improved cutting performance through hardened material and coating

The combination of HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgical cobalt high‑speed steel) and an ALCRONA coating delivers a balance of toughness and thermal resistance that helps maintain the cutting edge under interrupted and continuous milling. Powder metallurgy improves carbide distribution and reduces segregation, which increases red hardness and fracture resistance compared with conventional HSS. The 4‑flute geometry provides a favourable chip load distribution and a smaller radial chip thickness per tooth, supporting a stable cutting process and consistent surface finishes when machining medium‑strength alloys.

Secure clamping and enhanced stiffness for repeatable accuracy

A Weldon shank provides positive axial locking in cylindrical holders, reducing the risk of slippage in heavy engagement cuts. The tool’s short configuration and compact overhang keep deflection to a minimum; reduced overhang increases overall stiffness and therefore dimensional accuracy on successive passes. The tool’s centre‑cutting design allows plunge entry where necessary, while an effective length engineered to industrial tolerances supports rigid set‑ups that translate into fewer reworks and improved production throughput.

Broad material suitability and process advantages

The cutter is optimised for demanding ferrous materials: steel, stainless steel and cast iron are cited as very well suited, while non‑ferrous and special alloys are conditionally machinable depending on cutting data. Right‑hand cutting and the intentionally uneven flute spacing produce vibration reduction, which diminishes chatter and enhances surface quality on finished components. For manufacturing environments seeking consistency, the result is fewer rejects, longer tool life and lower overall machining costs through reduced downtime and blade changes.

FAQ

Which materials are best machined with this end mill?
This TECWERK end mill is very well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous and special alloys are conditionally machinable depending on cutting conditions.

Is the cutter suitable for plunge milling?
Yes, the tool’s centre‑cutting geometry enables plunge entry for operations that require axial engagement.

How does the ALCRONA coating improve performance?
The ALCRONA coating reduces friction and wear, extending tool life and supporting stable cutting conditions for the HSS‑Co PM substrate.

What clamping system is recommended for this tool?
A Weldon‑style holder that secures the shank by a drive flat is recommended to ensure positive locking and minimise axial slippage.

Does the tool reduce chatter during milling?
Yes, unequal flute spacing provides vibration reduction, improving surface finish and process stability in interrupted cuts.
