TECWERK slot drill Type N, 10 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon shank

TECWERK slot drill Type N, 10 mm designed for precision slotting and plunge operations in medium‑strength materials with a long overall length for deeper operations

• HSS‑Co8 substrate for high wear resistance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Long version with centre‑cutting geometry
• Weldon shank with 10 mm drive flat

Consistent cutting performance for medium‑strength materials

The HSS‑Co8 construction, combined with a TiCN surface, delivers improved heat resistance and wear stability when machining components up to approximately 1000 N/mm². This composition ensures a reliable balance between toughness and hardness, making the cutter suitable for repetitive slotting tasks where dimensional accuracy and surface quality matter. The two‑flute geometry promotes effective chip evacuation in slotting and reduces the risk of built‑up edge, while the centre‑cutting design allows axial plunging without the need for a pilot hole. The result is predictable material removal rates and fewer tool changes during production runs.

Stable toolholding and dimensions that support repeatability

The cutter features a Weldon shank and a cylindrical shank with drive flat, providing secure clamping in set‑screw or Weldon‑type holders for reduced slippage and improved concentricity. Key dimensions include a 10 mm diameter, 95 mm overall length and an effective length of 53 mm, which together permit deeper slotting tasks while maintaining rigidity. A relief length of 9.35 mm supports clearance in interrupted cuts. These measurable properties translate into reduced setup time and consistent results across batches, important in both jobbing shops and small production environments.

Material suitability and recommended applications

This long slot drill is classified for very good performance on steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. The cutter’s right‑hand cutting orientation and two‑flute layout make it particularly effective for producing clean slots and keyways where chip control and surface finish are priorities. Because the geometry is optimised for materials of low to medium tensile strength, operators can expect stable feeds and feeds that keep tool life economical without sacrificing surface integrity.

Operational efficiency, maintenance and workshop advantages

The TiCN coating reduces friction and increases abrasion resistance, which prolongs tool life and helps maintain cutting geometry over extended cycles. The two‑flute design supports quicker chip clearance than multi‑flute end mills when slotting, lowering the likelihood of chip re‑cutting and thermal build‑up. As a result, cycle times can be kept efficient and tool consumption minimised, contributing to lower total machining costs. For workshops seeking a dependable, general‑purpose slotting cutter, this long version offers a practical compromise between reach and rigidity.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge cutting?
Yes. The TECWERK slot drill Type N is centre‑cutting, which permits axial plunging into material without a separate pilot hole.

Which materials are best machined with this cutter?
The cutter performs very well on steel, stainless steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable with adjusted feeds and speeds.

What clamping system is required for secure mounting?
A Weldon‑type holder or set‑screw collet that accepts a 10 mm drive flat is recommended to ensure secure clamping and repeatable concentricity for the TECWERK slot drill.

Does the TiCN coating benefit stainless steel machining?
Yes. The TiCN coating reduces friction and improves abrasion resistance, which supports longer tool life and better surface finish when machining stainless steel.

What is the article number for ordering or reference?
The article number is 2000866162NW, which identifies the TECWERK slot drill Type N, 10 mm
