End mill DIN 844 Type N, 16 mm – HSS‑Co PM, ALCRONA‑coated (Weldon) by TECWERK

The End mill DIN 844 Type N, 16 mm is a long, four‑flute, centre‑cutting tool engineered for efficient milling of steels, stainless steel and cast materials up to approx. 1000 N/mm² in demanding production settings

• HSS‑Co PM construction for wear resistance
• ALCRONA coating for extended tool life
• Long design with centre‑cutting and 4 flutes
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping

Consistent performance for medium‑strength engineering materials

The HSS‑Co PM substrate combines cobalt alloying with powder metallurgy to deliver consistent cutting edge life and toughness. Designed for workpieces with low to medium tensile strength up to approx. 1000 N/mm², this tool offers a balance of hardness and resilience that makes it particularly suitable for machining steel and stainless steel where chip control and edge retention matter. The DIN 844 Type N geometry ensures predictable engagement with the material and reduces the risk of premature wear in continuous runs.

Geometry engineered for stability and improved surface quality

A four‑flute configuration with centre‑cutting capability allows plunge operations and axial engagement while maintaining chip evacuation efficiency. The cutter’s uneven flute spacing provides vibration reduction, resulting in fewer chatter marks and a superior surface finish on the workpiece. An optimised conical flute root increases tool stiffness, which translates into higher achievable feeds and improved dimensional stability in both slotting and peripheral milling operations.

Coating technology and lifecycle advantages for production

The ALCRONA coating offers a low‑friction surface and thermal protection that extend tool life under mixed cutting conditions. Reduced adhesion and improved heat resistance support longer uninterrupted cycles and fewer changeovers, which lowers total machining cost per part. For operations where consistent cycle times and predictable tool wear are priorities, this coating‑and‑substrate combination reduces downtime and contributes to a steadier production throughput.

Practical handling and secure integration into machine tool workflows

The Weldon shank with drive flat ensures positive clamping in standard toolholders and collet systems that accept Weldon style tools, eliminating slip under torque. Right‑hand cutting orientation and the long overall design suit deeper slotting and profile milling; the tool integrates smoothly into CNC programmes that follow DIN 844 conventions. For layout and fixture planning, the cylindrical shank with drive flat gives certainty in clamping repeatability and runout control, supporting precise and repeatable component production.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill suitable for?
This TECWERK end mill is primarily suited to steel and stainless steel and is rated for workpieces up to approx. 1000 N/mm²; it also performs well on cast materials with conditional use on some non‑ferrous alloys.

Can the tool be used for plunge milling?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows axial plunging operations in addition to conventional peripheral milling with the TECWERK DIN 844 Type N cutter.

Which holder is required for secure clamping?
A Weldon‑style holder or collet system that accepts a drive flat is recommended to ensure the Weldon shank engages positively and prevents tool slip under load.

How does the ALCRONA coating affect performance?
The ALCRONA coating reduces friction and improves thermal resistance, which extends cutting life and supports more stable machining cycles for this HSS‑Co PM tool.

Is this tool suitable for finishing passes?
The combination of four flutes, reduced vibration design and increased stiffness makes the tool suitable for finishing operations where surface quality and dimensional control are important.
