6mm Drill Slot Cutter TiAlN Coated Solid Carbide 2-Flute Short, DIN 6527 K, HB Shaft - TECWERK

Combine fine-grain solid carbide with a TiAlN hardwearing coating and a compact two-flute geometry for vibration‑reduced slotting and reliable surface quality; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

TECWERK slot drill DIN 6527 K Type N — 6 mm, TiAlN-coated, solid carbide

A TECWERK slot drill DIN 6527 K Type N in short version, designed for vibration‑resistant groove milling, plunge cuts and efficient finishing in steels and non‑ferrous materials.

• Solid carbide (VHM), fine-grain, TiAlN-coated
• 6 mm shank, DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank
• Two-flute, centre-cut for slotting and plunge cuts
• Short design for stable, low‑vibration machining

High wear resistance and consistent tool life for productive runs

The combination of TiAlN coating and solid carbide substrate gives a robust cutting edge that withstands elevated temperatures and abrasive conditions. This results in extended tool life and predictable wear behaviour, which supports shorter downtime and lower tool consumption in series production. The hard coating reduces built-up edge formation when machining alloyed steels and increases allowable cutting speeds, delivering a measurable improvement in process efficiency.

Geometry engineered for vibration control and surface integrity

A compact two-flute geometry with neck relief and a 45° chamfer provides stable engagement in slotting operations and reduces chatter on smaller‑diameter cutters. The integrated centre‑cut allows plunge entry, while the short overall length improves stiffness for higher dimensional accuracy. These design choices translate into reliable surface finishes and reduced rework when both roughing and finishing operations are required.

Broad material suitability for flexible workshop use

The tool is optimised for a wide range of materials, including carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon content, as well as many special alloys and abrasive materials. The combination of geometry and coating ensures that the cutter is suitable for both high‑productivity roughing and fine finishing tasks, making it a versatile choice for mixed‑workshop environments where one tool must cover multiple applications.

Compact shank and standards for straightforward integration

With a 6 mm shank to DIN 6535 HB and h6 tolerance, the cutter is compatible with standard collets and toolholders for secure clamping and concentricity. The short form (overall length 54 mm) and effective flute arrangement give a balance between accessibility and rigidity. Where tight tolerances and repeatable slot widths are required, this tool’s design supports consistent, vibration‑reduced machining and reliable repeatability on modern milling equipment.

FAQ

What materials is the TECWERK slot drill suitable for?
The TECWERK slot drill DIN 6527 K Type N is suitable for steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non‑ferrous metals, aluminium alloys with silicon, special alloys and abrasive materials.

Can the cutter perform plunge cuts?
Yes — the two‑flute design includes a centre‑cut, enabling plunge cuts and short slot entry without a pre‑drilled hole.

What shank standard does the tool use?
The cutter features a 6 mm cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance for secure clamping in standard collets and holders.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining?
The TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and reduces edge wear, extending tool life and enabling higher cutting speeds in demanding materials.

Is the tool suitable for both roughing and finishing?
Yes — the geometry and coating make the cutter appropriate for both roughing and finishing tasks, delivering stable chip evacuation and improved surface quality.
