TECWERK Slot Milling Cutter Type N, 5 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN‑coated, Weldon shank

TECWERK Slot Milling Cutter Type N, 5 mm engineered for long‑reach slotting and centre‑cutting in steels, stainless steels and cast materials

• HSS‑Co8 for high wear resistance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Weldon shank with drive flat
• Right‑hand, two‑flute long design

Reliable cutting for medium‑strength materials

The long slot mill is built on a HSS‑Co8 substrate and finished with a TiCN layer to provide reliable cutting performance in materials of low to medium strength up to approximately 1000 N/mm². The combination of substrate and coating reduces flank wear and maintains cutting geometry under thermal load, which translates into consistent slot dimensions and fewer rework cycles. Conforming to DIN 327, the tool is suitable where precise groove geometry and repeatability are required in production environments.

Geometry that improves process stability

With a 5 mm diameter and a two‑flute layout, the cutter delivers controlled chip evacuation and stable cutting forces in slotting operations. The centre cut enables plunge entry where necessary, while the long overhang and specified effective length support deeper or hard‑to‑reach slots without frequent tool changes. A Weldon (drive‑flat) cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping and positive torque transmission in standard toolholders, reducing vibration and improving surface finish of the workpiece.

Coating and material selection to extend tool life

The TiCN coating increases hardness and reduces built‑up edge formation, which is beneficial when machining stainless steel (INOX) and cast materials—both noted as very well suited—while non‑ferrous materials and special alloys are conditionally recommended. The right‑hand cutting direction matches standard machining setups and promotes predictable chip flow. These technical choices together lower process costs by extending tool life and reducing downtime for replacement.

Practical fit for workshop and production use

Designed with a 6 mm shank diameter and a short cutting length tuned for slotting, this cutter matches common toolholders and makes retrofit simple in existing setups. The tool’s relief profile and chip geometry are optimised for repeatable slot accuracy, supporting small‑batch manufacturing and series production alike. As part of a broader offering, this component benefits from Metav’s emphasis on supply reliability and precision tooling for industry and trade.

FAQ

What materials can this cutter machine effectively?
The TECWERK Slot Milling Cutter Type N (SKU 2000866156NW) machines steels and stainless steels very effectively and is also well suited to cast materials; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable.

Is the cutter suitable for plunge cutting or only for slotting?
The cutter features a centre cut, enabling plunge entry as well as conventional slotting in suitable setups with appropriate feed strategies.

What are the shank and mounting details for this tool?
The tool has a 6 mm cylindrical shank with a Weldon drive flat for secure clamping in standard collets and toolholders.

How does the TiCN coating benefit the machining process?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces adhesion, which lowers flank wear and improves resistance to built‑up edge, extending tool life in demanding cuts.

Does the cutter conform to any standards?
The design is aligned with DIN 327 specifications and manufactured for stable slotting performance in production contexts.
