6mm 3mm Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide TiAlN Coated 2-Flute Short With 45° Chamfer, HB Shank DIN 6535 - TECWERK

Combine solid-carbide construction, TiAlN coating and a centre-cutting two-flute geometry for dependable, low‑vibration slotting and both roughing and finishing operations; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical advisers for application support.

Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N, Ø 3 mm – Solid carbide, TiAlN‑coated (TECWERK)

The Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N is a short, centre‑cutting two‑flute solid‑carbide cutter designed for low‑vibration slotting and versatile use across steels, cast irons and non‑ferrous materials

• Solid carbide with TiAlN coating
• Centre‑cutting two‑flute geometry
• Very good for steel and non‑ferrous metals
• Short design for vibration‑reduced machining

Consistent cutting performance for mixed materials

The short solid‑carbide cutter uses a VHM fine‑grain substrate combined with a TiAlN surface layer to deliver increased thermal resistance and prolonged edge life when machining demanding alloys. The centre‑cutting geometry allows controlled plunging, while the two‑flute layout promotes efficient chip evacuation in slotting tasks. These engineered features translate into a measurable reduction in tool changes and more stable processes, particularly when batch sizes demand repeatable results.

Stable tool behaviour through vibration control

A compact, short design with a neck relief and a 45° protective chamfer (0.07 mm) reduces chatter and improves axial rigidity. The tool’s h6 shank tolerance and DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank specification ensure precise clamping with common toolholders, contributing to repeatable concentricity. For operations that combine roughing and finishing, the combination of dynamic helix and targeted relief promotes smooth cutting forces and a fine surface finish without sacrificing material removal rates.

Practical gains in machining efficiency and versatility

Right‑hand cutting with a dedicated centre cut and a protective chamfer makes the cutter suitable for both slotting and pocket entry without pre‑drilling. The tool’s geometry and coating support machining of a broad material range — from unalloyed steels and stainless varieties to cast irons, aluminium alloys with silicon and numerous non‑ferrous metals — enabling shop consolidation of cutter types and fewer changeovers. The result is a more economical workflow and improved uptime on production machines.

Integration and handling in the workshop

The short slot drill’s Ø 3 mm cutting diameter and 6 mm shank are compatible with compact toolholders used in high‑precision and light‑machining centres. The tool’s freeshank length and optimized flute design facilitate coolant access and chip removal in confined slots. Supplied as single units, the cutter is suitable for targeted replacements and minimises overstocking of less utilised sizes while maintaining readiness for specialised tasks in the toolroom.

FAQ

Is the cutter suitable for plunging and slotting?
Yes. The Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N features a centre‑cutting geometry that permits controlled plunging and reliable slotting operations.

Which materials perform best with this cutter?
The TECWERK slot drill is very well suited to steels, stainless (Cr‑Ni) steels, cast irons and a range of non‑ferrous metals including aluminium alloys with silicon.

What are the shank and clamping specifications?
The tool has a 6 mm shank with h6 tolerance and a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB, ensuring compatibility with standard toolholders.

Can the cutter be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes. The new geometry and coating allow the cutter to be used for vibration‑reduced roughing as well as finishing cuts.

How is chip evacuation supported in narrow slots?
The two‑flute design and dynamic helix improve chip flow, while the short geometry reduces deflection, supporting consistent chip removal in constrained slots.
