TECWERK Type N slot drill D12 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon shank, 2 flutes

The TECWERK Type N slot drill is a long, centre‑cutting two‑flute cutter designed for slotting and plunge operations in steels and stainless steels for workshop and light industrial milling

• TiCN-coated HSS-Co8 for extended tool life
• Centre-cutting long design for plunging operations
• Cylindrical shank with Weldon flat for secure clamping
• Very good for steel and stainless steel machining

Precise machining with a TiCN-coated HSS‑Co substrate

The TiCN surface treatment on an HSS‑Co8 body reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain cutting geometry under demanding use. This results in longer intervals between tool changes and a more predictable production flow. For operations where consistent edge life matters—such as repeated slotting in medium‑strength steels—the coating improves surface finish and heat resistance compared with uncoated high‑speed steels. The alloyed HSS core offers toughness that supports intermittent cutting and resists chipping during plunge entries.

Design features that support secure clamping and controlled feeds

A 12 mm cylindrical shank with a Weldon flat gives a positive drive under higher torque and prevents slippage in standard toolholders. The long overall length and an effective length of 63 mm provide access to deeper features while retaining adequate rigidity for many workshop applications. The two‑flute geometry encourages reliable chip evacuation in slotting, which helps to avoid chip packing and reduces the risk of built‑up edge. These mechanical design choices combine to lower the likelihood of rejects and rework when machining medium‑to‑low strength materials.

Centre cutting and right‑hand rotation for flexible milling

The centre‑cutting geometry enables plunge milling as well as conventional side‑milling, making the cutter versatile for operations that include both slotting and entry‑cutting. The tool is right‑hand cutting, matching the majority of CNC and manual milling set‑ups. Short cutting length of 2 mm makes the cutter particularly suitable for precise, shallow slots and for controlled engagement in thin sections where accurate depth control is required.

Material suitability and expected application areas

This long two‑flute slot drill is specified as very good for steel, stainless steel and cast materials, and as conditionally suitable for certain non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. That performance profile makes it appropriate for maintenance workshops, jigs and fixture production, and small‑batch part manufacturing where a balance of tool life and versatility is required. For more exotic high‑performance alloys, users should evaluate cutting parameters and feed strategies to match material behaviour.

FAQ

What materials is this slot drill suitable for?
The TECWERK Type N slot drill (SKU 2000866164NW) is very well suited for steel, stainless steel and cast materials; it is conditionally suitable for certain non‑ferrous metals and special alloys.

Can the cutter be used for plunge cutting?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows plunge milling as well as conventional slotting, so the Type N cutter can perform controlled entries into the workpiece.

What clamping system is recommended for reliable use?
Use a toolholder that secures a cylindrical shank with a Weldon flat; the 12 mm shank with the Weldon flat on this cutter ensures positive drive and reduced slippage.

How does the TiCN coating affect performance?
The TiCN coating on the HSS‑Co8 substrate increases wear resistance and thermal stability, improving edge life and consistency in repeated slotting operations.

Which standard covers this tool’s specification?
The cutter conforms to DIN 327 and is supplied under SKU 2000866164NW for consistent identification.
