End mill DIN 844 Type N, 8 mm — Long PM HSS-Co with ALCRONA coating (TECWERK)

A long DIN 844 Type N end mill designed for centre-cutting tasks in materials up to approximately 1000 N/mm², combining PM HSS-Co metallurgy with an ALCRONA wear coating for extended service life.

• PM HSS-Co for long tool life
• ALCRONA coating for improved wear resistance
• Centre-cutting four-flute geometry
• Weldon shank with drive flat, right-hand cut

Consistent high performance in mixed machining

The combination of PM HSS-Co substrate and an ALCRONA coating delivers a balanced mix of toughness and surface hardness, which translates into prolonged tool life and consistent chip formation when machining a range of materials. The four-flute, centre-cutting geometry provides efficient metal removal while allowing axial plunging operations, making the cutter suitable for pocketing and slotting tasks where controlled engagement and stable cutting forces are required. This technical choice supports higher feed rates and fewer tool changes, improving process throughput.

Reduced vibration, finer surfaces and dimensional stability

Vibration reduction is achieved by deliberately unequal flute spacing, which lowers harmonic excitation and diminishes chatter during heavy cuts. The tapered chip gullets increase the effective stiffness of the cutter, improving concentricity and surface finish on the workpiece. For production environments where repeatable form and finish matter, these design elements reduce rework and inspection effort while maintaining dimensional accuracy over longer tool life cycles.

Secure clamping and application range for demanding jobs

The cylindrical shank with a Weldon drive flat ensures positive clamping for torque-intensive operations and prevents slippage in toolholders, especially important for the long variant when machining deep features. The cutter is right-hand cutting and rated for materials with low to medium strength up to about 1000 N/mm²; it is particularly well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron, while non-ferrous metals and special alloys are possible with adapted cutting data. The robust build and drive design support reliable use in milling centres and toolroom setups.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (DIN 844 Type N, 8 mm, SKU 2000866043NW) is very well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron; non-ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable with adapted cutting data.

Can the cutter perform plunge cuts?
Yes, the centre-cutting four-flute design of the TECWERK Type N cutter allows axial plunging as well as conventional milling, making it versatile for pocketing and slotting.

How does the ALCRONA coating benefit the tool?
The ALCRONA coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance on the PM HSS-Co substrate, resulting in longer life and more consistent cutting performance under cyclic loads.

Is the Weldon shank suitable for heavy milling operations?
The Weldon shank with drive flat offers positive clamping and prevents slippage in toolholders, which is particularly advantageous for deep or torque-intensive operations using the long version of this cutter.
