10mm Drill-Groove Cutter HSS-Co8 TiCN Coated 2-Flute Short, DIN 327D - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co8 core, TiCN coating, and a secure Weldon shank to mill narrow keyways and form‑fitting slots with consistent edge life and repeatable clamping; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application support.

Keyway Milling Cutter DIN 327D Type N, Ø10 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN – TECWERK

A Keyway Milling Cutter DIN 327D Type N engineered for precision slotting and close‑tolerance keyseats in steel and stainless applications.

*TiCN coating for increased wear resistance *HSS‑Co8 body for hard‑wearing cutting performance *Centre‑cutting two‑flute design for plunge capability *Weldon shank with drive flat for secure tool holding

Efficient machining for medium‑strength alloys and stainless steels

Built on a HSS‑Co8 substrate with a low‑friction TiCN surface, this short keyway cutter meets the demands of repeatable industrial production. The tool conforms to DIN 327D and its two‑flute geometry gives a good balance between chip evacuation and surface finish when machining materials up to roughly 1000 N/mm². Centre‑cutting capability allows controlled plunging into pre‑drilled starts, reducing setup time and enabling accurate pocketing without the need for additional pilot operations. These characteristics translate into consistent cycle times and reliable part quality across small and medium series.

Controlled dimensions for narrow fits and deeper keyways

With an external diameter of Ø10 mm and a cutting length 2 mm, the cutter is optimised for tight clearances and form‑accurate keyways. The tool’s effective length 21 mm and total length of 63 mm support use in compact setups while the Weldon shank with a drive flat ensures positive gripping in collets and side‑lock holders. For workshop planners, the short overall form reduces overhang and improves rigidity, which directly benefits axial stability and surface integrity when producing precision shafts and mating hubs.

Longer tool life and consistent surface quality

The TiCN layer lowers friction and improves wear resistance, especially under interrupted cuts typical for keyseat operations. Combined with the heat‑resistant properties of HSS‑Co8, the cutter sustains sharpness during continuous runs in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, where suitability is rated very good. Non‑ferrous and speciality alloys are workable with adapted cutting data. The right‑hand cutting direction and balanced flute form deliver predictable chip formation, which reduces the need for frequent tool changes and contributes to steady process economics.

Seamless integration into the workshop and production flow

Designed for direct use in standard milling machines and toolholders, the short two‑flute cutter simplifies tool management for precision maintenance and repair tasks as well as serial manufacturing. The combination of centre cutting, secure shank fixation and material range allows its application for both single‑piece jobbing and higher throughput operations.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK Keyway Milling Cutter DIN 327D Type N is well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys; adjust cutting data accordingly.

Can the cutter plunge directly into the workpiece?
Yes. The tool’s centre‑cutting two‑flute design allows controlled plunging for starts and pockets without a separate pilot.

What is the shank type and how is it secured?
The cutter features a Weldon shank with a drive flat for secure clamping in side‑lock holders and collets, ensuring stable tool holding during keyway milling.

Which standard does the cutter comply with and what is the diameter?
Compliant with DIN 327D, the cutter has a diameter of Ø10 mm and a cutting length of 2 mm for precise keyseat work.

How to obtain cutting parameters and availability for SKU 2000866116NW?
