Take advantage of a durable HSS‑Co8 substrate with TiCN coating and a secure Weldon shank for consistent slot milling results; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the sales team for application advice.

TECWERK Slot Drill Type N – 12 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon Shank

The TECWERK Slot Drill Type N is a long, two‑flute centre‑cut cutter for precise slotting and plunge operations in low to medium strength materials across general machining environments.

• HSS‑Co8 substrate
• TiCN coating for wear resistance
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• Centre‑cut two‑flute geometry

Consistent cutting performance for mixed workshop use

The cutter combines a high‑cobalt HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN coating, delivering improved hot hardness and surface wear resistance compared with uncoated HSS. This configuration supports sustained cutting conditions when machining common workshop materials and reduces tool change frequency, which contributes to higher overall productivity. The tool is specified for use up to approximately 1000 N/mm² tensile strength, making it particularly suitable where a balance of durability and versatility is required. The TiCN layer also aids chip evacuation and reduces built‑up edge formation during interrupted cuts.

Geometry engineered for efficient slot milling and safe plunge cuts

The two‑flute, centre‑cut geometry provides reliable axial cutting capability and smooth slot formation with a single tool, eliminating the need for separate drills in many workflows. The centre‑cut design enables controlled plunging while the twin flutes ensure effective chip removal in slots and grooves. For mounting stability, the cutter features a Weldon cylindrical shank with a drive flat, which secures clamping in standard toolholders and minimises slippage under heavy intermittent loads. The combination of geometry and shank design reduces vibration and supports repeatable accuracy in serial production.

Material suitability and process reliability explained

The tool’s material recommendations indicate very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys are conditionally suitable. This means the cutter excels in ferrous applications common to fabrication and toolroom tasks, while work on softer or exotic alloys may require tailored feeds, speeds or coolant strategies. The listed shank diameter of 12 mm and the relief ground length of 11.5 mm are compatible with common toolholders and clamping systems, ensuring straightforward integration into existing setups. For users assessing tool life and outcomes, the tool’s balanced design reduces the risk of premature wear and supports predictable maintenance intervals.

FAQ

What materials is this slot drill best suited for?
The TECWERK slot drill Type N (SKU 2000866164NW) is rated very good for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable depending on cutting parameters.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts as well as slot milling?
Yes, the centre‑cut two‑flute geometry allows controlled plunge cutting and simultaneous slotting, making the cutter versatile for both operations.

How does the TiCN coating benefit tool life?
The TiCN coating on the HSS‑Co8 substrate increases surface hardness and reduces adhesive wear, extending tool life under typical workshop cutting conditions.

Is the Weldon shank compatible with standard toolholders?
The cylindrical shank with drive flat (Weldon) provides a secure clamping interface compatible with common holder systems and helps prevent rotation under load.

What does 'long' version imply for application?
The long version provides extended reach for deeper slots or features; consideration of clamping rigidity and vibration control is advised for optimal results.
