Slot milling cutter DIN 327D Type N, 8 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN‑coated (TECWERK)

The Slot milling cutter DIN 327D Type N, 8 mm is a short, two‑flute centre‑cut tool with Weldon shank designed for precision slotting and keyway creation in steel, stainless steel and cast iron up to around 1000 N/mm²

• HSS‑Co8 core for enhanced wear resistance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• Centre‑cut two‑flute design for plunge milling

Increased productivity through precise slotting

The short, two‑flute geometry with centre‑cut capability enables controlled plunge cuts and rapid chip evacuation, reducing cycle times on repetitive slotting tasks. The combination of a HSS‑Co8 substrate and a TiCN coating provides a balance of toughness and surface hardness that keeps cutting edges sharper for longer, meaning fewer tool changes and higher machine uptime. For production environments where consistency matters, this cutter supports reliable, form‑accurate keyways and narrow fits without compromising feed rates.

Broad material compatibility with clear limits

Engineered for machining a range of engineering materials, the cutter shows very good suitability for steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron, while non‑ferrous and special alloys are conditionally machinable. Where material tensile strength approaches 1000 N/mm², the tool maintains geometric stability thanks to its cobalt alloy substrate. The short flute length and 7.5 mm free cutting length support accurate depth control in deeper keyways; the tool is right‑hand cutting and intended for machines that require a secure, repeatable axial plunge.

Secure clamping and easy handling at the machine

The cylindrical shank with Weldon flat (shank Ø 10 mm) provides robust drive transmission and reduces slippage under heavy feed. Shorter overall length improves stiffness, decreasing vibration during slotting operations and enhancing surface finish of the workpiece. The cutter’s DIN 327D Type N form and two‑edge layout make it suitable for close‑tolerance fits and form‑accurate machining where concentricity and run‑out control are critical. Setup time is reduced thanks to predictable seating and a secure clamping interface.

Service life, maintenance and machining economy

The TiCN coating reduces built‑up edge and improves thermal resistance at the cutting zone, which extends tool life, especially in interrupted cuts and when machining stainless materials. Reconditioning costs are lowered through reduced wear rates, and the cutter’s robustness supports longer effective tool life in batch production. For operations that prioritise a balance between cutting performance and economy, this short, centre‑cut slot milling cutter offers a cost‑effective option that encourages steady, low‑downtime workflows.

FAQ

Which materials are best machined with this cutter?
The TECWERK slot milling cutter is optimised for steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys can be machined conditionally depending on cutting data.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts or only conventional slotting?
Thanks to the centre‑cut geometry and two‑edge design, the cutter permits controlled plunge cutting as well as conventional slot milling.

What are the key dimensions for clamping and setup?
Shank diameter is 10 mm with a Weldon drive flat and a free cutting length of 7.5 mm; the overall cutting diameter is 8 mm (SKU 2000866114NW).

How does the TiCN coating improve performance?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces built‑up edge, improving tool life and thermal resistance, particularly when machining stainless steel.
