TECWERK short keyway cutter DIN 327D Type N — 16 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon shank

TECWERK short keyway cutter DIN 327D Type N — 16 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon shank is a compact, two‑flute cutter for machining tight, form‑accurate keyways and deep keyseats in a wide range of workshop applications

• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Short 2‑flute design for precise keyways
• Weldon cylindrical shank with drive flat
• Suited for steel and stainless steel

Precise keyway machining with durable cutting geometry

The TECWERK keyway cutter combines a HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN‑coated face to deliver wear resistance and consistent edge stability during repetitive passes. The two‑flute geometry and centre cutting capability allow controlled material engagement and accurate form reproduction when milling narrow fits and keyways, even where depth is a concern. The short variant reduces deflection in confined setups, which supports tighter tolerances and fewer rejects. These characteristics translate into measurable productivity gains through reduced rework and stable cycle times.

Robust mounting and clear machine compatibility

Designed to DIN 327D Type N, the tool features a Weldon shank with a drive flat and a 16 mm shaft diameter to ensure secure clamping and reliable torque transfer in common milling holders. The cutter is right‑hand cutting and provides a free grind length of 15 mm, offering clear reference dimensions for setting up. Material suitability is specified for working up to approximately 1000 N/mm², with very good performance on steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally machinable. These concise specs enable straightforward integration into existing tooling stations without lengthy trial adjustments.

Fewer tool changes, higher workshop uptime

The combination of TiCN‑coated surfaces and a high‑quality cobalt alloy base results in longer life between tool changes and more consistent surface finish on mating components. The short, centre‑cut design minimises vibration in deep slotting operations, reducing risk of chatter and the need for corrective passes. For production environments where repeatability and quick fixture swaps matter, this cutter supports predictable process windows and helps to streamline inventory: robust performance reduces stocking of multiple specialised variants. Metav’s supply chain from Emmerich further ensures dependable delivery and a pragmatic quality filter for European workshops.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for stainless steel?
Yes. The TECWERK short keyway cutter is rated very good for INOX (stainless steel) and is manufactured in HSS‑Co8 with a TiCN finish to resist built‑up edge and wear during stainless machining.

What shank size and holder type are required?
The tool uses a 16 mm cylindrical shank with a Weldon drive flat; compatible Weldon holders or collet systems accepting a 16 mm shaft and Weldon clamping are appropriate for secure mounting.

Can the cutter produce deep keyseats without excessive vibration?
The short two‑flute, centre‑cut geometry reduces overhang and deflection, making it suitable for deeper keyways in confined setups while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

What are the main benefits of the TiCN coating?
The TiCN coating enhances surface hardness, lowers friction and improves wear resistance, which extends tool life and supports more consistent finishes on mating parts.
