57mm Schrough Cutter 6mm Diameter 20mm Effective Length TiAlN Coated, VHM Solid Carbide - TECWERK

Benefit from the combination of solid carbide construction, TiAlN coating and a 45° helix that delivers efficient, vibration‑reduced roughing in mixed materials. Order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants for application support and parameter recommendations.

TECWERK roughing end mill — 6 mm, TiAlN‑coated, solid carbide

The TECWERK roughing end mill is a long solid‑carbide cutter designed for rapid material removal in steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals.

• Solid carbide, fine‑grain with TiAlN coating
• 6 mm shank and 6 mm cutting diameter
• 45° helix, 4 flutes for aggressive stock removal
• Cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB, h6 tolerance

High‑rate roughing with stable chip control

The combination of a solid carbide substrate and TiAlN surface treatment provides a robust basis for high‑load roughing. The cutter’s 4‑flute geometry and specially profiled roughing teeth break chips into short, consistent segments; this reduces cutting forces and helps achieve a vibration‑reduced process even during heavy passes. The result is faster metal removal with improved stability, which supports higher productivity on medium‑duty milling centres and machining cells while maintaining predictable tool life.

Coating and geometry that extend uptime

A thin, wear‑resistant TiAlN layer increases thermal resistance and lowers adhesion of workpiece material to the cutting edges. In practice this translates to fewer unexpected tool changes and more uninterrupted production time. The tool’s positive rake angle and robust edge prep are designed to tolerate interrupted cuts and variable workpiece conditions. Taken together, these characteristics help to reduce overall cycle costs through extended service intervals and more consistent part quality.

Precision fit for reliable clamping and runout control

The cutter features a 6 mm cylindrical shank manufactured to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance, ensuring accurate seating and minimal runout in standard toolholders. Minimal runout improves concentricity, reduces flank wear and supports repeatable hole and pocket geometries when roughing precedes finishing. The tool’s geometry and neck relief also allow clearance in deep pockets and stepped features, making it suitable for a broad range of fixtures and holder types commonly used in workshops and production lines.

Material suitability and practical machining notes

Engineered primarily for roughing, the tool shows very good suitability for steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals; performance on special alloys and stainless steel is conditional and depends on cutting parameters and part geometry. The right‑hand cutting direction and 45° helix help produce manageable chips in mixed‑material batches. For best results, pair the cutter with a rigid setup and appropriate coolant strategy; if exact parameter windows are required for a specific alloy or cycle, Metav’s technical advisors can supply empirically validated recommendations.

FAQ

What materials is the cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK roughing end mill is very well suited for steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous metals; performance on special alloys and stainless steel is conditional and depends on cutting parameters and setup.

How does the TiAlN coating improve performance?
The TiAlN coating on the solid carbide body increases heat resistance and reduces material adhesion, which helps to prolong tool life and maintain consistent cutting behaviour under heavy roughing loads.

What does the h6 shank tolerance mean for clamping accuracy?
An h6 tolerance on the 6 mm cylindrical shank ensures a tight, repeatable fit in standard toolholders, reducing runout and improving concentricity for more reliable roughing cycles.

Is the tool suitable for interrupted cuts or pocketing?
Yes; the cutter’s positive rake angle, neck relief and specialised roughing profile are designed to tolerate interrupted cuts and to clear chips effectively in pocketing operations.

Can this cutter be used in finishing operations?
This tool is optimised for roughing; a finishing tool with a dedicated geometry should be used to achieve final surface finishes and tight dimensional tolerances.
