3mm Slot Drill Solid Carbide TiAlN Coated 2-Flute Short DIN 6527 K, 50mm Length - TECWERK

Combining solid carbide construction with a TiAlN wear‑resistant coating and a short, rigid geometry results in reliable, vibration‑reduced slotting and finishing across many materials; order through Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team for application advice.

TECWERK slot drill DIN 6527K, 3 mm — solid carbide, TiAlN, short

The TECWERK slot drill DIN 6527K (3 mm) is a short, two‑flute solid carbide cutter designed for vibration‑reduced slotting and finishing in steels, non‑ferrous metals and abrasive alloys.

• Solid carbide, fine‑grain construction
• TiAlN coating for heat resistance
• 2‑flute, centre‑cutting geometry
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HB, tolerance h6

Consistent cutting performance for mixed materials

The short two‑flute design delivers high rigidity and stable cutting behaviour even when machining challenging components. The combination of VHM (solid carbide) and a TiAlN coating raises wear resistance and thermal stability, so the cutter maintains edge condition longer during high‑temperature cuts. Centre‑cutting geometry enables plunge entry and accurate slot starts, while the 2‑flute layout clears chips effectively, reducing rework and downtime.

Precision shank and geometry for secure clamping

A cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance ensures concentric clamping and minimal run‑out in collets and holders. The short overall length and neck relief reduce lever arm and vibrations, improving tool life and surface finish. The small 45° protective chamfer guards the cutting edge during handling and helps to avoid premature edge chipping, supporting repeatable, high‑quality results.

Versatile suitability across workshop applications

Designed as a universal short slot drill, this cutter is suitable for machining steel, cast iron, grey and tempered cast irons, Cr‑Ni steels, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium with silicon content, as well as abrasive materials. The newly developed geometry supports both roughing and finishing operations, enabling fewer tool changes and more efficient process planning in small‑batch and serial production environments.

Operational advantages and process reliability

Practical features such as the centre‑cutting tip, right‑hand cutting direction and the fine‑grain carbide substrate contribute to reproducible feed rates and predictable tool life. The short type reduces chatter and enables higher feed per tooth in slotting tasks, which improves throughput without sacrificing surface integrity. For workshops aiming to streamline tooling, this cutter offers a robust compromise between performance and handling simplicity.

FAQ

Which materials can this slot drill machine successfully cut?
The TECWERK slot drill (SKU 2000866151NW) is specified for a wide range: steel, Cr‑Ni steels, cast iron, grey and tempered cast irons, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium with silicon content, as well as abrasive materials.

Is the cutter suitable for plunge cuts and slot starts?
Yes. The cutter features a centre‑cutting geometry, allowing plunge entries and accurate slot starts while maintaining stable cutting performance.

What shank and tolerance ensure secure clamping?
The tool has a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance, designed for concentric clamping and low run‑out in collet systems.

Can the cutter be used for both roughing and finishing operations?
The short two‑flute geometry and fine‑grain VHM substrate make the tool versatile for both roughing and finishing, offering good material removal and surface quality.

How does the TiAlN coating improve performance?
The TiAlN coating increases heat resistance and wear protection, extending edge life under high thermal loads and helping to maintain consistent cutting performance over longer cycles.
