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

The End mill DIN 844 Type HR, 16 mm is a long, four‑flute, centre‑cutting solid high‑speed steel cutter designed for milling steels and stainless steels in robust workshop and light industrial applications

• HSS‑Co PM with ALCRONA coating
• DIN 844 Type HR, long design
• Weldon shank, 4 flutes, centre‑cutting
• Suitable for materials up to 1400 N/mm²

High cutting performance and material compatibility

The End mill DIN 844 Type HR, 16 mm combines HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy cobalt high‑speed steel) with an ALCRONA wear coating to sustain cutting temperatures and extend tool life under repetitive machining. The 4 flutes provide a balanced combination of chip evacuation and cutting edge engagement, while the centre‑cutting geometry permits controlled plunging and interrupted cuts. These properties translate into steady metal removal rates and predictable tool behaviour when working on medium to high tensile strength steels and stainless steel.

Robust design for rigidity and secure clamping

The long version with a Weldon shank and a nominal shank diameter of 16 mm gives stable clamping in set‑screw holders, reducing the risk of slippage during heavy cuts. The tool’s conical flute root improves tool stiffness, lowering vibration and producing cleaner surface finishes. With an effective length of 73 mm and an overall length of 123 mm, the cutter provides additional reach while the 45° chamfer protects the leading edge, improving resistance to chipping in interrupted cutting conditions.

Practical applications and handling guidance

This cutter is rated for machining components with tensile strengths up to ~1400 N/mm² and shows very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional use on non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. The centre‑cutting tip enables plunge milling where needed; the right‑hand cutting direction must be observed for correct feed orientation. For mounting, secure the Weldon shank firmly in a compatible holder and observe recommended spindle speeds and feeds for HSS‑Co tools to optimise life and performance.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this end mill?
This TECWERK end mill is very well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable depending on cutting parameters.

Does the tool allow plunge cutting?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry on the End mill DIN 844 Type HR, 16 mm permits controlled plunging operations and short‑depth entries.

How should the shank be clamped for secure operation?
Use a compatible set‑screw holder for the Weldon shank and ensure firm axial and radial support to exploit the cutter’s rigidity and reduce chatter.

What advantage does the ALCRONA coating provide?
The ALCRONA coating increases wear resistance and thermal stability, which helps extend the life of the HSS‑Co PM cutter under demanding conditions.

Is this cutter suitable for high‑strength steels?
The cutter is specified for workpieces up to approximately 1400 N/mm² tensile strength; appropriate feeds and speeds should be used for longer tool life.
