6mm Cylindrical Shank End Mill HSS-Co PM ALCRONA Coating, 4 Flutes Long, Weldon - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co PM construction and ALCRONA coating for durable edge life and secure chip control; the unequal flute spacing and conical gullet root deliver reduced vibration and improved stiffness for consistent surface quality. Order the TECWERK end mill directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if further specifications are required.

TECWERK long 4‑flute HSS‑Co PM end mill (DIN 844, Ø6 mm, ALCRONA‑coated, Weldon shank)

A TECWERK long 4‑flute HSS‑Co PM end mill engineered for precision milling and reliable performance on steel, stainless steel and cast iron in workshop and light production environments.

• HSS‑Co PM for high toughness and wear resistance
• ALCRONA coating for improved tool life
• Unequally spaced flutes reduce vibration
• Weldon shank ensures secure clamping

Durable cobalt‑alloy core for demanding materials

Constructed from HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy cobalt high‑speed steel), this tool offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance that benefits interrupted cuts and heavier engagement. The material choice reduces the risk of chipping compared with conventional high‑speed steels and is therefore particularly advantageous when machining medium‑strength steels and stainless steels. With a Ø6 mm diameter and a cutting length of 4 mm, it is designed for short, accurate engagements where stable edge retention matters.

Coating and flute geometry that aid productivity

The ALCRONA coating provides increased surface hardness and reduces friction between tool and workpiece, lowering built‑up edge and improving finish. The end mill is a centre‑cutting tool, so plunge operations are possible, while the 4 flutes support finer chip packing and better surface integrity in side milling. The effective length 30 mm and overall length 68 mm retain rigidity during longer reaches, and the right‑hand cut direction aligns with standard feed strategies for conventional toolpaths.

Stability‑focused design for smoother finishes

Vibration is minimised by unequally spaced flutes, which break up harmonic resonances and reduce chatter, translating into more consistent surface quality and fewer rejects. The conical gullet root increases core stiffness without sacrificing chip space, allowing stable cutting even when performing deeper passes near the tool’s axial limits. These geometrical choices support reproducible results and can shorten downstream finishing operations by delivering superior as‑milled surfaces.

Secure clamping and practical workshop fit

The tool features a Weldon shank (cylindrical shank with drive flat) for positive drive and secure clamping in standard holders, supporting repeatable concentricity and safe torque transmission. Conforming to DIN 844 Type N, the design integrates smoothly with existing tool holders and programming routines. It is rated for machining materials with low to medium tensile strength up to about 1000 N/mm² and is very well suited for steel, inox (stainless steel) and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally appropriate depending on cutting data and coolant strategy.

FAQ

Which materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (end mill, SKU 2000866041NW) is very well suited for steel, stainless steel (inox) and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys can be machined with adjusted cutting data.

Can the tool perform plunge operations?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows plunge milling in addition to conventional side and slot milling operations.

What benefit does the ALCRONA coating provide?
ALCRONA coating increases surface hardness and lowers friction, helping to reduce built‑up edge and extending tool life under standard cutting conditions.

How do unequally spaced flutes affect machining?
Unequally spaced flutes break up harmonic vibrations, reducing chatter and improving surface finish and process stability during milling.

What clamping arrangement is required for safe use?
Use a secure Weldon‑style holder or an appropriate collet that accepts a cylindrical shank with a drive flat to ensure torque transmission and concentric clamping.
