Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co PM construction, ALCRONA coating and a Weldon shank for secure clamping and sustained cutting performance; order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the team for application advice.

TECWERK end mill DIN 844 Type HR – 6 mm, HSS‑Co PM, ALCRONA‑coated, Weldon shank

The TECWERK end mill DIN 844 Type HR is a long, four‑flute cutting tool designed for precision milling and light plunge work in demanding workshop and industrial applications.

• HSS‑Co PM for increased wear resistance
• ALCRONA coating for extended tool life
• Four flutes for efficient chip control
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping

High‑performance substrate and coating for longer service life

Constructed from HSS‑Co PM, the cutter combines toughness with hardness to resist chipping and thermal softening under elevated cutting loads. The ALCRONA coating reduces friction at the cutting edge and improves wear resistance, which translates into longer intervals between tool changes and more predictable production cycles. Conformity to DIN 844 ensures familiar geometric standards for workshop planners and facilitates tool management across the production floor.

Secure clamping and geometry that stabilise accuracy

A Weldon shank with drive flat provides positive gripping in standard toolholders, reducing the risk of slippage during heavy engagement. The tool’s centre cut permits limited plunge milling while the 45° chamfer protects the cutting edge during entry and exit. A tapered flute root increases tool stiffness, so the cutter maintains dimensional accuracy even when axial depth or radial engagement rises marginally—helping to keep tolerances consistent on machined features.

Application guidance and material suitability

The design is optimised for materials with tensile strength up to ~1400 N/mm². Suitability is rated very good for carbon steels, stainless steels and cast materials, while non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys should be approached with adapted cutting data. The tool is right‑hand cutting, with a geometry that balances metal removal rate and surface finish; adapt feed and spindle speed according to machine rigidity and workpiece characteristics to achieve the best compromise between tool life and cycle time.

Practical benefits for shopfloor productivity

Adopting a coated four‑flute long end mill of this specification reduces tool consumption and machine downtime through longer tool life and reliable chip evacuation. The combination of HSS‑Co PM and ALCRONA yields cost‑effective performance where carbide might not be required, and the standardised shank and DIN compliance simplify tool inventory. For procurement and engineering teams, this means fewer emergency replacements and steadier throughput across batches.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (SKU 2000866069NW) is very well suited for carbon steels, stainless steels and cast materials; non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys are conditionally suitable and may require adjusted parameters.

Does the cutter allow plunge milling?
Yes, the centre‑cut geometry permits limited plunge milling, making the tool versatile for pocketing and entry operations in addition to slotting.

How does the ALCRONA coating benefit machining?
The ALCRONA coating reduces friction and wear at the cutting edge, which extends tool life and helps maintain surface finish over longer production runs with the TECWERK end mill.

Is the shank compatible with standard toolholders?
The Weldon shank with drive flat is compatible with standard toolholders and provides secure clamping to minimise slippage during heavy cuts.

What makes this tool conform to workshop standards?
Compliance with DIN 844 and the use of HSS‑Co PM substrate ensure predictable dimensions, repeatability and a balance between toughness and hardness for many industrial applications.
