Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N, 12 mm — solid carbide, TiAlN‑coated (TECWERK)

A slot drill DIN 6527K Type N, 12 mm engineered for vibration‑reduced roughing and finishing across steels and non‑ferrous alloys, with centre‑cut capability for plunge operations

• Solid‑carbide (VHM) body with TiAlN coating
• Two‑flute, centre‑cut design for plunging
• Short version with neck relief for low vibration
• Cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB, tolerance h6

Higher productivity through optimised geometry and coating

The cutter’s solid‑carbide construction and TiAlN surface layer deliver a high degree of heat resistance and wear protection, enabling longer tool life under elevated cutting temperatures. The two‑flute, centre‑cut geometry allows safe plunging while the short configuration increases rigidity, which together result in more consistent material removal rates and a reliable surface finish. These design choices are aimed at improving cycle time and reducing costly tool changes in production environments.

Broad material capability reduces setup complexity

Thanks to a newly developed geometry and the hard TiAlN coating, the tool is suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials including steels, stainless steels, cast irons and non‑ferrous alloys. The combination of fine‑grain carbide and coating performance ensures stable cutting when machining abrasive or silicon‑alloyed aluminium, so fewer specialised cutters are required. This versatility supports leaner tooling inventories and simplified process planning in mixed‑material workshops.

Enhanced stability and dimensional reliability at the spindle

A cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with tolerance h6 and a neck relief (free grind) of 11.5 mm provide secure clamping and reduce the risk of chatter when working at elevated feeds. The tool’s variable helix and 45° protective chamfer contribute to smoother chip evacuation and reduced vibration, delivering improved concentricity and repeatable bore/slot accuracy. Those attributes make the cutter particularly effective for both roughing and finishing operations where positional accuracy is essential.

Practical application guidance and workshop integration

Designed as a short, robust two‑flute cutter for dynamic machining, the tool supports plunge and slot operations with a centre‑cut capability and right‑hand cutting direction. Its construction and coating are selected to balance wear resistance with surface quality, making it suitable for serial production as well as one‑off precision tasks.

FAQ

Which materials is this slot drill suitable for?
The slot drill DIN 6527K Type N, 12 mm (TECWERK, SKU 2000866163NW) is specified as very well suited for steels, stainless steels, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys containing silicon, as well as many abrasive and special alloy materials.

Can the cutter be used for plunge cuts?
Yes, the tool features a centre‑cut (Zentrumschnitt) two‑flute geometry that permits plunge operations and controlled slotting while maintaining stability.

What shank and tolerance should be expected for toolholders?
The cutter has a 12 mm cylindrical shank manufactured to DIN 6535 HB with tolerance h6, providing accurate clamping and repeatable concentricity in suitable collets or chucks.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining performance?
The TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and reduces edge build‑up, extending tool life and maintaining surface quality when machining high‑temperature materials such as Cr–Ni steels and abrasive workpieces.

Does the short version help to reduce vibration?
Yes; the short configuration combined with neck relief and a variable helix is designed to lower vibration, improving surface finish and dimensional consistency during both roughing and finishing.
