16mm Roughing Solid Carbide End Mill 40mm Effective Length TiAlN Coating, 45° Helix h6 Shank - TECWERK

Combining TiAlN coating with a solid carbide body and a 45° helix, this long roughing end mill delivers high material removal with reduced vibration and extended tool life. The combination of a 4‑flute geometry and a specialised roughing profile supports stable machining of steels and non‑ferrous metals; order via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the Metav specialists for application guidance.

TECWERK Solid Carbide Roughing End Mill DIN 6527L, Ø16 mm, TiAlN, 4 Flutes (Long)

The TECWERK Solid Carbide Roughing End Mill DIN 6527L is a long, four‑flute roughing cutter designed for heavy stock removal in steel, cast iron and non‑ferrous materials within workshop and light industrial milling applications

• TiAlN coating for high wear resistance
• Solid carbide, fine‑grain body for rigidity
• 45° helix angle for smooth chip evacuation
• Special roughing profile for low vibration

Efficient roughing with predictable stability

The long milling cutter offers a special roughing profile and positive rake that enable aggressive cuts while maintaining process stability. Manufactured from solid carbide (VHM) with a fine‑grain structure, the tool resists deflection under load and reduces the risk of premature breakage during heavy‑duty passes. With a 4‑flute design and a Ø16 mm cutting diameter paired with an effective cutting length of 40 mm, the cutter is tailored for deep slotting and pocketing operations where sustained material removal rates are required. The long reach and the neck relief minimise interference when machining deeper features, supporting consistent part tolerances over extended cycles.

Broad material suitability for mixed production

Engineered to machine a range of workshop materials, the cutter shows very good suitability for steel, non‑ferrous metals and cast iron, while use on stainless steel and superalloys is possible with adapted cutting parameters. The TiAlN surface layer increases oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures, so the tool retains hardness during prolonged engagement in tougher materials. For operations dealing with mixed batches, this makes the cutter a pragmatic choice: it delivers reliable performance across common component materials while reducing the need for frequent tool changes in multi‑material workflows.

Coating and geometry that extend tool life

The TiAlN coating contributes to longer tool life by lowering friction and improving heat resistance at the cutting edge. Combined with the 45° helix angle, the geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation and reduces chatter, which in turn helps maintain surface integrity of the workpiece. The tool’s cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB and shank tolerance h6 ensure a secure, concentric clamping in standard toolholders, supporting repeatable machining accuracy. These features are especially beneficial in longer production runs where stable cutting conditions and predictable wear are priorities.

Practical integration into workshop routines

Designed as a long version to reach recessed features, the end mill’s overall length of 92 mm and right‑hand cutting are compatible with common machining setups. The cutter’s 45° protective chamfer and the presence of a neck relief further reduce the risk of rubbing and minimise vibration at depth, simplifying the process planning for roughing passes. The combination of robust shank specifications and the cutter’s geometry supports efficient tool changes and secure seating in existing fixtures, enabling straightforward integration into established machining cycles without demanding specialised holders.
