TECWERK Slot drill Type N, 3 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN coating, Weldon shank

A TECWERK Slot drill Type N 3 mm engineered for centre‑cutting slotting and long‑reach milling in stainless and carbon steels.

• HSS‑Co8 substrate for heat resistance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• Centre cutting for plunge and slot milling

High‑performance substrate and coating for longer production runs

The combination of a HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN coating delivers a robust balance of toughness and wear resistance for continuous shop use. This metallurgy resists thermal softening during interrupted cuts, while the coating lowers friction and enhances surface finish. For workshops demanding repeatable component quality, the material and coating pairing reduces downtime related to tool change and rework, improving throughput and cutting stability.

Designed geometry for reliable chip evacuation and secure mounting

A two‑flute geometry with a Weldon shank supports effective chip evacuation in slotting operations and stable clamping in standard holders. The tool’s centre cutting capability permits plunge operations as well as conventional milling, and the right‑hand cut direction ensures predictable chip flow. The relatively long overall length and an effective flute length make this cutter suited to applications where reach and accuracy must be combined without sacrificing rigidity.

Application suitability and process advantages explained

This cutter is specified for workpieces with low to medium strength up to approximately 1000 N/mm², showing very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, and conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and specialised alloys. The relief clearance of 2.9 mm supports consistent cutting geometry, while the modest cutting length focuses the cutting forces for precise slot formation. For production and repair tasks where repeatable slot dimensions are essential, the tool reduces the need for secondary finishing.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge cutting and slotting?
Yes. The TECWERK slot drill Type N 3 mm is centre cutting, which permits plunge operations as well as slot milling for through and blind slots.

Which materials are best machined with this tool?
The tool performs very well on steel, stainless steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys are conditionally suitable for this slot drill.

What clamping shank is used and why is it relevant?
A Weldon shank is used for secure axial and radial clamping; this ensures stable chucking in standard holders and reduces the risk of slippage during slotting.

How does the TiCN coating benefit production?
TiCN coating on the HSS‑Co8 substrate lowers friction, improves wear resistance and enhances surface finish, extending tool life during repetitive operations.

What is the effective flute length and why does it matter?
The effective length is 13 mm, providing sufficient engagement for many slotting tasks while maintaining rigidity for accurate slot dimensions.
