Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N, 16 mm – Solid carbide, TiAlN (TECWERK)

The Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N 16 mm is a short two-flute solid-carbide cutter with centre-cut and TiAlN coating, designed for universal milling in steels, cast materials and non-ferrous metals.

• Solid carbide with TiAlN coating
• Two-flute centre-cut geometry
• Short design with variable helix
• DIN 6535 HB shank, tolerance h6

Efficient cutting performance for mixed-production environments

The cutter combines solid carbide substrate and a TiAlN coating to deliver abrasion resistance and thermal stability, which prolongs tool life on demanding jobs. The two-flute geometry with centre-cut enables limited plunging and efficient chip evacuation, making the tool particularly suited to interrupted cuts and slotted features. In practical terms this means fewer tool changes in mixed-production shops and improved throughput when machining steel and non-ferrous metals.

Precision support and vibration control for reliable setup

A DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank with 16 mm shank diameter and h6 tolerance ensures repeatable clamping concentricity and stable runout, reducing setup time and scrap. The cutter features a neck relief and a short overall length to promote vibration-free machining, which preserves surface finish and extends tool life when finishing components. The included 45° protective chamfer and exact relief geometry further protect edges during engagement.

Versatile use from roughing to finish operations

Engineered as a universal short slot mill, the tool is optimised for both roughing and finishing, thanks to the dynamic helix that evens out cutting forces and reduces chatter. The universal fine-grain carbide and geometry make the cutter suitable for a wide range of materials including cast irons, Cr–Ni steels, aluminium with silicon, abrasive alloys and special alloys; this versatility reduces the need for multiple dedicated cutters on the tool rack.

FAQ

Which materials can this slot drill machine effectively?
The slot drill is rated as very well suited for steel, cast iron, Cr–Ni steels and INOX, and also performs well on non‑ferrous metals, aluminium with silicon, abrasive materials and special alloys.

Does the cutter allow plunging operations?
Yes, the centre-cut geometry provides a limited plunging ability suitable for slot starts and short plunges; for deep drilling consider a dedicated twist drill.

What advantages does the TiAlN coating provide?
The TiAlN coating increases heat resistance and wear protection, extending tool life during high-temperature contact and abrasive conditions.

How does the shank specification support precision workholding?
The DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance ensures consistent clamping accuracy and low runout for reliable repeatability in production setups.

Is this tool suitable for both roughing and finishing?
Yes, the geometry and variable helix make the cutter appropriate for both roughing and finishing operations, reducing the need for multiple tool changes.
