10mm Solid Carbide HSS-Co End Mill 4 Flute ALCRONA Coating DIN 844 Weldon Shank – TECWERK

Take advantage of a high-performance HSS-Co PM cutting geometry with ALCRONA coating and a secure Weldon shank for dependable, long-run milling of high-strength steels; order or request technical advice via Metav Werkzeuge for seamless integration into production.

TECWERK HSS-Co PM End Mill DIN 844 Type HR – 10 mm, ALCRONA Coating, Weldon Shank, Long, 4 Flutes

The TECWERK HSS-Co PM end mill is a long, four-flute cutter designed to machine high-strength steels and stainless materials in industrial milling applications.

• HSS-Co PM with ALCRONA coating
• Long 4-flute design for deeper cuts
• Weldon shank with drive flat
• Suitable for steels up to 1400 N/mm²

Reliable cutting for high-strength steels and stainless materials

The combination of HSS-Co PM (powder-metallurgical high-speed steel) and ALCRONA coating delivers a balance of toughness and wear resistance that is particularly effective on workpieces with high tensile strength. This tool is specified for materials up to about 1400 N/mm², which means the cutter maintains edge integrity during demanding operations. The metallurgical design reduces flank wear and extends service life, translating into fewer tool changes and higher machine uptime — a practical advantage for batch and continuous production.

Built for rigidity and secure clamping to reduce chatter

A long 4-flute geometry together with a Weldon shank and drive flat provides secure retention and improved torque transmission in the tool holder. The conical flute root increases tool stiffness, reducing deflection during deep or interrupted cuts and improving dimensional accuracy of machined features. The standard 45° chamfer on the cutting edge lowers cutting forces at the entry, helping to avoid tool breakage and promoting a consistent surface finish under heavier feeds.

Effective chip control and improved surface quality

With four cutting edges and a centre-cut geometry, the cutter supports both peripheral milling and limited plunge operations while maintaining orderly chip formation. The ALCRONA coating helps prevent built-up edge when machining stainless and other adhesive materials, which contributes to a cleaner workpiece and longer intervals between regrinds. For shop-floor operators this means fewer rejected parts and a more predictable machining cycle, especially when switching between batch jobs and small series.

Practical application notes and support for process setup

This long HSS-Co PM end mill is well suited to finishing and medium-roughing in steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional use on non-ferrous metals and special alloys. For machining strategies, feed and speed optimisation, or toolholder recommendations, technical support is available; Metav Werkzeuge provides application guidance to adapt the cutter to specific machines and workpiece setups. Detailed cutting data and clamping suggestions help to exploit the tool’s DIN 844 Type HR characteristics while protecting tool life and part tolerances.

FAQ

Which materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK HSS-Co PM end mill is very well suited for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non-ferrous metals and special alloys; performance is rated up to approximately 1400 N/mm².

Can the cutter perform plunge operations?
Yes, the centre-cut geometry of the tool enables limited plunge milling in addition to peripheral milling, allowing the TECWERK end mill to enter material vertically when the operation requires it.

How is the tool clamped and secured in the holder?
This long cutter features a Weldon shank with a drive flat, ensuring positive drive and secure clamping for heavy-duty and interrupted cuts.

What advantage does the ALCRONA coating provide?
The ALCRONA coating reduces adhesion and surface wear, improving life and finish when machining abrasive or adhesive materials such as stainless steels; it helps maintain consistent cutting edges over extended runs.

To which standard does this cutter conform?
The tool conforms to DIN 844 Type HR and is supplied as a long, four-flute HSS-Co PM end mill, SKU 2000866073NW.
