TECWERK Slot Milling Cutter DIN 6527 K, Ø 18 mm — Solid Carbide, TiAlN-coated

A TECWERK slot milling cutter DIN 6527 K, Type N designed for plunge-capable slotting and versatile milling across steels, cast materials and non-ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide with TiAlN coating
• Ø18 mm cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB
• Two-flute centre-cut for plunge milling
• Geometry for low-vibration roughing and finishing

Reliable cutting performance and longer tool life

The short solid carbide construction in combination with a TiAlN surface treatment provides a stable cutting edge and improved thermal resistance, which translates to longer tool life during continuous operations. The two-flute, centre-cut geometry allows for controlled plunge machining as well as conventional slotting, reducing the need for tool changes. With these design choices, production runs benefit from consistent component quality and fewer interruptions, supporting a smoother machining process and predictable cycle times.

Broad material suitability reduces setup complexity

Engineered for universality, this cutter is very well suited to machining a wide range of materials including steels, cast irons, Cr–Ni stainless grades and non-ferrous alloys. The optimised geometry and coating additionally make it appropriate for aluminium alloys with silicon content and certain abrasive materials. This broad capability reduces the number of specialist tools required in the tool cabinet and shortens setup times between jobs, delivering practical economy and greater flexibility on mixed-production shop floors.

Stable shank design and vibration damping for precision

A Ø18 mm cylindrical shank conforming to DIN 6535 HB and a controlled neck relief provide secure clamping and a reduced tendency to chatter. The tool features a protective 45° chamfer (0.2 mm) and a free relief length of 17.5 mm, which together support smooth entry and exit of the cutter. The dynamic pitch and neck relief contribute to vibration-reduced machining, enabling accurate finishes even during heavier cuts and when alternating between roughing and finishing passes.

Practical machining guidance for efficient workflows

Designed as a short, two-cutting-edge tool with a centre-cut for direct plunging, this slot mill is suitable for combined roughing and finishing strategies where tool stability and chip evacuation are priorities. The newly developed geometry supports chip control and reduces heat build-up, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy over longer series. For best results, secure the shank according to DIN‑compliant clamping practice and select feeds and speeds that match the workpiece material and machine rigidity; the tool’s construction is intended to provide reliable performance in demanding workshop environments.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge machining?
Yes. The TECWERK slot milling cutter DIN 6527 K is centre-cut and designed for plunge-capable slotting as well as conventional milling operations.

Which materials can be machined reliably with this tool?
The cutter is very well suited for steels, cast iron, Cr–Ni stainless steels, non‑ferrous metals and certain abrasive and special alloys; it is also appropriate for aluminium alloys with silicon content.

What ensures reduced vibration during machining?
A combination of dynamic pitch, neck relief and the short, rigid Ø18 mm shank reduces harmonics and helps achieve vibration-reduced cutting and improved surface quality.

How is the shank specified for clamping?
The tool has a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with a tolerance of h6, ensuring consistent clamping and concentricity in DIN‑compliant holders.

Can this cutter be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes. The geometry and coating are optimised to support both roughing and finishing applications, offering a balance between material removal rate and surface quality.
