10mm Keyseat Cutter Type N HSS-Co8 TiCN Coated 2-Flute Long With Weldon Shank, Centre Cut, Right-Hand - TECWERK

Benefit from a combination of durable construction and precise cutting: the HSS‑Co8 substrate and TiCN coating extend tool life while the centre‑cut geometry allows slotting and light plunging, keeping production steady and predictable; order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our technical advisers for application-specific recommendations.

Slot drill Type N Ø 10 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon, 2‑flute, long — TECWERK

A Slot drill Type N Ø 10 mm designed for robust slotting and plunge-capable operations in steel, stainless steel and cast components, suited to demanding workshop and production environments

• HSS‑Co8 with TiCN coating for extended life
• Centre-cut geometry enables plunge cutting
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• Excellent for steel, stainless steel and castings

Reliable cutting performance for continuous production

The long two‑flute geometry delivers a balance between chip evacuation and rigidity, so the slot drill maintains consistent material removal rates in repetitive operations. The combination of HSS‑Co8 (high‑speed steel with 8% cobalt) and a TiCN surface layer increases hot hardness and wear resistance, reducing flank wear during extended runs. This stability translates into predictable cycle times and fewer unplanned tool changes, supporting steady throughput on the shop floor.

Lower tool consumption through advanced coating and substrate

A TiCN coating (titanium carbonitride) provides a harder, lower‑friction surface than uncoated HSS, while the HSS‑Co8 core improves resistance to softening at elevated temperatures. Together these features extend cutting edge life and postpone regrinds, which lowers per‑part tooling costs. For non‑specialists: the coating protects the cutting edge and the cobalt alloy keeps the cutter tough under heat, so the tool sustains cutting force and surface finish for longer between replacements.

Secure clamping for vibration‑free machining

The cylindrical shank with Weldon drive flat secures the cutter in standard holders and toolposts, reducing slippage and chatter during heavy slotting. A precise 10 mm shank diameter and the defined drive flat allow quick, repeatable changes in modular toolholders. Safer clamping improves surface quality and extends the life of both the tool and the machine spindle interfaces, particularly in operations that require higher feed engagement or intermittent plunge cuts.

Versatile application range with clear material guidance

The tool is optimised for materials up to approximately 1000 N/mm² tensile strength and shows very good performance in steel, stainless steel and castings; non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys are conditionally suitable. The centre‑cut tip permits limited plunging and hole‑starting, so one cutter can perform slotting and pocket entry without a prior pilot hole. For tougher alloys or large‑depth removal, selecting appropriate feeds, cutting depths and coolant regimes will preserve tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.

FAQ

What materials is the slot drill best suited to?
The slot drill Type N from TECWERK is very well suited to steel, stainless steel and castings; non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys are conditionally suitable as noted in the specifications.

Can this cutter perform plunge cuts or hole starting?
Yes, the centre‑cut geometry allows limited plunging and hole‑starting, so the tool can be used for entry cutting and slotting without a separate pilot operation.

What does HSS‑Co8 and TiCN mean for tool life?
HSS‑Co8 denotes high‑speed steel with 8% cobalt for improved hot hardness; the TiCN coating provides a hard, low‑friction surface—together they extend cutting life and improve wear resistance on TECWERK cutters.

Is the shank compatible with standard toolholders?
The cutter has a 10 mm cylindrical shank with a Weldon drive flat, enabling secure clamping in common Weldon‑style holders and helping to prevent slippage during heavy engagement.

What size and number of flutes does the cutter have?
This long Type N cutter features two flutes, balancing chip evacuation and rigidity for slotting and pocketing tasks.
