16mm Drill Slot Cutter HSS-Co8 TiCN Coated 2-Flute Short With Weldon Shank, DIN 327 D - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of TiCN coating and HSS‑Co8 construction for prolonged tool life and consistent accuracy; the Weldon shank and short design enable secure clamping and machining of narrow, deep keyways. Order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants for application advice.

Slot milling cutter DIN 327D Type N, Ø16 mm – HSS‑Co8, TiCN-coated, Weldon shank (TECWERK)

A slot milling cutter DIN 327D Type N, Ø16 mm designed for machining precise keyways and tight fits in steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• HSS‑Co8 high-speed steel core
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• Short version for confined slots
• Two-flute geometry for accurate keyways

Precision and durable cutting for consistent fits

The slot milling cutter is built around a HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN surface finish to provide wear resistance and reliable edge retention under intermittent cutting. The combination reduces flank wear and keeps dimensional drift to a minimum, which is crucial when producing accurate keyways or close tolerance slots. Conforming to DIN 327D, the tool supports repeatable results in series production and repair work, translating into fewer re‑works and higher first‑pass accuracy.

Secure clamping and access to confined features

Machining narrow grooves benefits from the cutter’s short overall length and Weldon shank with drive flat, which secures the tool in the holder under higher radial loads. With an overall length of 79 mm and an effective length of 29 mm, the design limits overhang and vibration in tight setups. The Ø16 mm shank matches standard collet or Weldon holders, ensuring rigid support and improved surface finish when producing deep or form‑critical slots.

Material compatibility and cutting behaviour explained

This cutter is right‑hand cutting with two flutes and a centre cutting capability, enabling plunge entries and straightforward slotting operations. It is suitable for materials up to approximately 1000 N/mm² tensile strength: very well suited for steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron, and conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. The TiCN layer lowers friction and heat build‑up, which supports higher cutting speeds and extended tool life in common shop applications.

Shop-floor efficiency and application scenarios

For workshops producing shafts with keyways, fitting slots and precision assemblies, the cutter offers focused performance: short setup times, robust clamping and predictable wear characteristics. Its geometry is optimised for form‑accurate grooves and keyseat machining, delivering a reproducible finish that eases downstream assembly. Metav’s inventory and technical expertise act as a quality filter for European customers, providing a dependable supply chain and application guidance for industrial and trade environments.
