Slot drill Type N Ø 5 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN coating (TECWERK)

The Slot drill Type N Ø 5 mm is a long, two‑flute, centre‑cutting slotting cutter designed for precise slot and keyway machining in steels and cast iron.

• HSS‑Co 8% with TiCN coating
• Two‑flute long design for deep slotting
• Centre‑cutting for plunge and through cuts
• Weldon shank with drive flat, shank Ø 6 mm

High‑performance material and coating for longer tool life

The combination of HSS‑Co 8% substrate and TiCN coating delivers a durable cutting edge that resists abrasive wear and withstands higher cutting temperatures than uncoated high‑speed steel. This results in more consistent tool life when machining medium‑strength materials and stainless steels. For production environments where downtime matters, this construction reduces the frequency of tool changes and helps maintain cycle time stability.

Design that supports efficient slotting and plunge cuts

Featuring 2 flutes and centre cutting, the tool permits plunge and slot operations without pre‑drilling, enabling a simpler process chain on milling centres. The long design is optimised for deeper slots while maintaining chip evacuation and stability. As a result, the cutter is suitable for operations where reach and efficient chip removal are required, improving throughput on repetitive slotting tasks.

Secure holding and machine compatibility

The Weldon shank with a drive flat provides robust axial and torque transmission, ensuring a secure fit in collets or Weldon‑type holders. The shank Ø 6 mm is compatible with standard tool holders, enabling quick tool changes and reliable concentricity. This mechanical reliability translates into fewer vibration‑related surface issues and a steadier machining process.

Clear suitability for typical workshop materials

This cutter is specified for machining materials with low to medium strength up to approx. 1000 N/mm². It is very well suited to steels, stainless steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are indicated as conditionally suitable. By matching tool geometry and coating to the material, the tool yields improved surface quality and dimensional consistency in slotting applications.

Practical benefits for production and maintenance planning

The centre‑cutting geometry and robust coating reduce process steps and allow for reliable tool reconditioning where appropriate. Using this long two‑flute cutter can simplify fixture design and lower cycle complexity for small to medium series production. Combined with Metav’s supply chain from Emmerich, workshops benefit from predictable availability and expert technical guidance when integrating the cutter into an existing tooling strategy.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK slot drill Type N (SKU 2000866156NW) is very well suited to steels, stainless steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are listed as conditionally suitable.

Can this cutter be used for plunge cutting?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows the tool to perform plunge operations as well as conventional slotting.

Is the shank compatible with standard collets and holders?
The cutter has a Weldon shank with a drive flat and a shank diameter of 6 mm, making it compatible with standard Weldon‑type holders and common collets.

How does the TiCN coating affect performance?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and heat resistance, improving wear resistance and extending the effective tool life compared with uncoated HSS‑Co tools.

Is this cutter suitable for CNC production runs?
The long two‑flute design and robust substrate make the cutter suitable for CNC slotting operations, especially where reach and consistent chip evacuation are required.
