TECWERK HSS‑Co PM End Mill DIN 844 Type N, Ø 16 mm — ALCRONA Coating, 4 Flutes (Long, Weldon)

A TECWERK HSS‑Co PM end mill optimised for long‑reach milling of steels, stainless steels and cast materials, conforming to DIN 844 Type N.

• HSS‑Co PM for high toughness
• ALCRONA coating for extended tool life
• DIN 844 Type N long reach design
• 4‑flute geometry with vibration reduction

High material performance for reliable milling results

Manufactured in HSS‑Co PM, the cutter combines toughness and wear resistance for difficult cutting conditions. The ALCRONA coating reduces flank and crater wear, extending tool life and maintaining edge integrity under intermittent and continuous cutting. For production environments where component quality and repeatability matter, the Type N DIN 844 profile ensures a standardised long‑reach geometry that supports predictable tool behaviour and repeatable results. This material/coating combination is particularly beneficial where tool life and consistent finish are required.

Stability and vibration control for long‑reach operations

The long design and the unequally split 4‑flute geometry actively reduce chatter during extended projections. Vibration reduction is achieved by the asymmetrical flute distribution, while improved stiffness from the conical flute root maintains rigidity under load. Together these features reduce the likelihood of chatter marks and improve surface finish when machining components with deeper pockets or taller fixtures. The centre‑cutting configuration allows for plunge starts in many setups, increasing process flexibility without sacrificing stability.

Secure clamping and efficient chip management

A cylindrical shank with a drive flat (Weldon style) provides a secure mechanical interface for heavy‑duty clamping systems and rigid toolholders, reducing slippage during demanding operations. The 4‑flute geometry balances feed capability and chip evacuation: additional flutes raise metal removal rates while the tool geometry and coating assist chip flow to avoid built‑up edge. Right‑hand cutting orientation suits conventional milling setups and ensures predictable chip formation and tool engagement in typical CNC toolpaths.

Application scope and recommended workpieces

Designed for machining materials with low to medium tensile strength up to approximately 1000 N/mm², the cutter is very well suited for steel, stainless (INOX) and cast materials, while aluminium‑based and special alloy applications are conditionally suitable depending on process parameters. The effective length and cutting length combination supports both finishing and light roughing passes in workpieces where access is restricted. For shops seeking a durable, versatile long‑reach solution, this tool reduces operator intervention and improves process reliability.

FAQ

Which materials is the TECWERK HSS‑Co PM end mill suitable for?
The TECWERK HSS‑Co PM end mill is very well suited to steel and INOX (stainless steel), very suitable for cast materials and conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals and some special alloys depending on machining parameters.

How does the tool reduce vibration during long‑reach milling?
Vibration reduction is achieved by the unequally split 4‑flute geometry and the conical flute root, which together improve dynamic balance and stiffness for long‑reach applications with the TECWERK DIN 844 Type N profile.

What shank and clamping does the tool require?
This end mill features a cylindrical shank with a drive flat (Weldon style) for secure clamping; the Weldon interface prevents rotation in rigid toolholders under high cutting forces.
