6mm Slot Drill Type N HSS-Co8 TiCN Coated Long 2-Flute Weldon Shank, Centre Cutting - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of durable HSS‑Co8 construction, a TiCN coating for longer tool life and a secure Weldon shank for reliable clamping to maintain consistent production quality; order or enquire via Metav Werkzeuge for specification advice.

Slot drill Type N, 6 mm – HSS‑Co8, TiCN‑coated, Weldon shank (TECWERK)

The Slot drill Type N 6 mm is a long two‑flute cutter with centre‑cut capability, designed for precision slotting and light plunge milling in steel, stainless steel and cast iron up to approx. 1000 N/mm²

• HSS‑Co8 core for increased hot hardness
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Centre‑cut for plunge and slot milling
• Weldon shank, 6 mm, two flutes

Reliable performance in steel and stainless applications

The long two‑flute slot cutter combines a HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN surface layer to deliver higher hot hardness and improved wear resistance compared with uncoated high‑speed steel. For workshops machining medium‑strength components up to 1000 N/mm², this geometry provides consistent material removal with reduced flank wear, while the coating lowers friction and heat generation. The result is a measurable improvement in process reliability and fewer tool changes, which supports lean production and cost efficiency.

Secure clamping and plunge capability for precise slots

A Weldon shank with drive flat ensures positive clamping in set screws and tool holders, reducing the risk of slippage during interrupted cuts. The tool features a centre‑cut (plunge‑capable) geometry and two flutes, enabling controlled slotting as well as light plunge operations. The documented flute length of 5.35 mm gives a clear indication of the effective cutting zone for shallow slotting tasks. Together, these characteristics enable repeatable, accurate slots and reduce rework in precision assemblies.

Practical machining advantages for daily workshop use

This long slot drill is optimised for demanding workshop environments where a balance of life and cutting performance is required. It is rated very good for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous materials and special alloys are listed as conditionally suitable; this makes the tool a versatile choice for mixed fabrication shops. Right‑hand cutting geometry and the cylindrical shank with a clamping flat simplify setup in standard toolholders. Selecting this cutter can reduce tool inventories and improve throughput through fewer interruptions for retooling.

FAQ

Which materials is this slot drill best suited for?
The slot drill is optimised for steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys according to the material hardness and machining setup.

Does the TiCN coating justify higher productivity?
Yes, the TiCN coating reduces friction and wear compared with uncoated HSS, which often extends tool life and supports more consistent cutting conditions across batches.

Can this cutter be used for plunge milling?
The centre‑cut geometry enables controlled plunge operations; the tool’s design supports short plunge moves as well as conventional slotting.

What clamping is required for reliable performance?
A secure Weldon‑style clamping with a set screw engaged on the shank flat is recommended to prevent slippage during interrupted cuts and to maintain repeatability.

What is the exact article reference for ordering?
The SKU is 2000866158NW; the item is the long Slot drill Type N 6 mm by TECWERK.
