Slot cutter DIN 6527 K Type N — 5 mm, solid carbide, TiAlN (TECWERK)

The Slot cutter DIN 6527 K Type N is a short, two‑flute solid carbide cutter designed for precise slotting and groove milling in steels, castings and non‑ferrous alloys.

• Solid carbide, TiAlN coating
• Short design for stable machining
• Suitable for steel and non‑ferrous metals
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HB, 6 mm

Stable geometry for predictable productivity

The short, two‑flute design with a dynamic pitch offers a balance between rigidity and chip evacuation, resulting in consistently low vibration and repeatable slot profiles. Manufactured from VHM (solid carbide) and finished with TiAlN, the tool resists thermal softening and abrasive wear during continuous cycles. The 45° protective chamfer and centre‑cutting geometry enable plunge entry and precise groove starts, so cycle times remain predictable while the number of reworked parts is reduced.

Broad material range and dual‑mode machining

Thanks to the newly developed geometry and coating, the cutter is suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials, including carbon steels, alloyed steels, cast iron variants, Cr‑Ni stainless steels, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium with silicon content. The combination of two cutting edges and the TiAlN surface makes the tool effective for both schruppen (roughing) and schlichten (finishing) operations, enabling a single tool to cover consecutive process steps and reduce tool changes on the shop floor.

Precision interface and secure clamping for repeatable results

A cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with a 6 mm diameter and h6 tolerance simplifies clamping and maintains concentricity even at moderate speeds. The design includes a neck relief and a 0.12 mm protective chamfer to reduce accidental breakage at the entry face. These mechanical details combine to offer stable tool engagement in common toolholders, supporting tighter dimensional tolerances and improved surface quality.

Coating benefits and practical cutting data

The TiAlN coating increases surface hardness and forms a lubricious oxide layer at elevated temperature, which improves resistance to built‑up edge and extends life in dry or reduced‑lubrication conditions. With a cutting length of 2 mm and an effective length of 11 mm, the tool is optimised for short slotting tasks where stiffness is decisive. The short version minimises overhang and helps maintain tool life while the right‑hand cutting direction aligns with standard mill spindle rotation for straightforward process planning.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this cutter?
The slot cutter from TECWERK (SKU 2000866155NW) is specified for a broad range including steels, cast irons, stainless (Cr‑Ni) steels, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon; abrasive materials and special alloys are also supported by the chosen geometry and coating.

Is the tool suitable for both roughing and finishing operations?
Yes, the combination of the two‑flute geometry and TiAlN coating makes the cutter suitable for both roughing and finishing; the tool’s vibration‑reduced design helps maintain surface quality during finishing passes.

What are the shank and clamping specifications?
The cutter features a 6 mm cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with tolerance h6, providing secure clamping and consistent concentricity in standard toolholders.

How does the TiAlN coating influence performance?
The TiAlN coating increases high‑temperature hardness and reduces built‑up edge formation, enhancing wear resistance and extending tool life under higher thermal loads and in dry or reduced‑lubrication conditions.
