Schaftfräser DIN 844 Typ N D.20mm HSS‑Co PM ALCRONA, short — TECWERK end mill, 4‑flute, Weldon shank

The Schaftfräser DIN 844 Typ N D.20mm HSS‑Co PM ALCRONA by TECWERK is a short, centre‑cut end mill designed for precise milling of medium‑strength materials in production and workshop environments

• HSS‑Co PM body for enhanced wear resistance
• ALCRONA coating for improved surface finish
• Short DIN 844 Type N, 4 flutes, Weldon shank
• Optimised for steel and stainless applications

Durable high‑performance construction for consistent cycle times

The cutter combines HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy high‑speed steel with cobalt) with an ALCRONA surface coating to deliver a balance of hardness and toughness. This pairing reduces flank wear and maintains cutting edges for longer, which translates into fewer tool changes and more reliable production runs. For operations where downtime erodes profitability, the hardened core and protective coating provide a tangible increase in usable tool life while keeping component finish consistent.

Geometry that reduces vibration and improves surface quality

A 4‑flute configuration with unevenly split flutes provides stable chip formation and vibration reduction, especially in interrupted or cantilevered cuts. The cutter’s centre‑cut design allows controlled plunging and ramping, while the conical flute root increases rigidity for cleaner walls and tighter tolerances. These geometry choices mean lower chatter, improved surface appearance and reduced rework in serial milling tasks—especially beneficial when processing prismatic parts where dimensional consistency matters.

Versatile suitability across common shop materials

Designed for milling materials up to approximately 1000 N/mm², the tool shows very good suitability for steel and stainless steel and good performance on cast iron. Non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys are conditionally suitable depending on cutting data and coolant strategy. The combination of substrate and coating supports common industrial cutting parameters and keeps the cutter functioning reliably in both single‑piece flow and small‑batch production.

Practical shank and short design for secure clamping and rigidity

Built to DIN 844 Type N, the short design reduces overhang and improves spindle rigidity in toolholders. The Weldon shank with drive flat ensures positive drive and fast tool changes in standard clamping systems, while the 20 mm diameter and specified effective length maintain a compact, robust setup. These practical design elements make the cutter straightforward to integrate into existing machining cells where fixture stability and repeatability are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited to?
The TECWERK Schaftfräser (end mill) is very well suited for steel and stainless steel and also performs well on cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable depending on machining parameters.

Can the cutter perform plunge cuts?
Yes—the tool features a centre‑cut geometry that allows controlled plunging and ramping operations, giving flexibility for pocketing and interrupted cuts.

How does the ALCRONA coating benefit machining?
The ALCRONA coating reduces friction and protects the HSS‑Co PM substrate against abrasive wear, improving surface finish and extending tool life under industrial cutting conditions.

Is the shank compatible with standard toolholders?
The Weldon shank (drive flat) is compatible with standard clamping systems and ensures secure, positive drive in typical workshop setups.

What is the exact article number for ordering?
The article number is 2000866038NW for the TECWERK Schaftfräser, DIN 844 Type N, 20 mm diameter, 4‑flute configuration.
