Take advantage of the combination of heat-resistant cutting performance and a secure Weldon shank for reliable, repeatable keyway milling; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team for application advice.

Slot milling cutter DIN 327D Type N, Ø6 mm – HSS‑Co8, TiCN – TECWERK

The Slot milling cutter DIN 327D Type N is a short two‑flute cutter designed for producing narrow, accurate keyways and deep slots in medium‑to‑low strength materials, ideal for precise mechanical fits.

• HSS‑Co8 with TiCN coating
• DIN 327D Type N geometry
• Cylindrical Weldon shank Ø6 mm

Engineered for precise keyways and narrow grooves

The short Type N geometry, conforming to DIN 327D, provides a centred cutting edge for safe plunge milling and controlled entry into workpieces. With a two‑flute design and centre cut, the tool maintains axial stability during slotting operations, reducing chatter and improving repeatability. The combination of HSS‑Co8 substrate and TiCN coating enhances heat resistance and surface hardness, which translates into consistent dimensional accuracy when producing tight precision fits.

Material suitability and clamping security for industrial use

The cutter is optimised for applications in steel and corrosion‑resistant alloys, being very well suited to stainless steel and cast iron, while remaining conditionally suitable for selected non‑ferrous and special alloys. Its Ø6 mm cylindrical shank with Weldon shank style and drive flat ensures a secure clamping interface in collets or setscrew holders, minimising slippage during high torque operations. The heat‑resistant cobalt content of the substrate supports sustained cutting performance in tougher materials up to approximately 1000 N/mm².

Practical workshop advantages: handling, control and finish

The short design reduces overhang, lowering deflection and aiding surface finish in deep keyways and form‑accurate grooves. As a right‑hand cutting tool with a robust centre cutting capability, it is suitable for slotting and re‑milling already positioned features where accuracy matters. Contractors and maintenance workshops benefit from predictable tool life and straightforward mounting, making this cutter a pragmatic choice for repeat production runs and repair tasks where geometrical conformity is required.

FAQ

What materials can this slot milling cutter machine handle best?
The TECWERK slot milling cutter DIN 327D Type N (SKU 2000866112NW) is very well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for certain non‑ferrous and special alloys.

Is the cutter suitable for plunge cutting and slotting to depth?
Yes; the centre‑cut geometry and two‑flute design enable safe plunge cutting and controlled slotting, making it appropriate for deeper keyways and form‑accurate grooves.

How is the cutter clamped in the toolholder?
The cutter features a cylindrical Weldon‑style shank with a drive flat, ensuring secure clamping in setscrew holders and similar fixtures for torque‑resistant mounting.

What advantages does the TiCN coating provide?
The TiCN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance, while the HSS‑Co8 substrate offers enhanced heat tolerance—together these extend consistency of cutting performance.

Can this cutter be used on hardened steels?
The tool is designed for materials up to around 1000 N/mm²; for hardened steels beyond this range, a specialised carbide solution should be considered.
