14mm Keyseat Cutter DIN 327 Short 3-Flute HSS-Co8 11.5mm Relief, Right-Hand - TECWERK

Benefit from the combination of HSS‑Co8 hardness, a Weldon shank for secure clamping and a short, rigid design that delivers precise keyways; order the TECWERK keyseat cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists if technical advice is required.

Keyseat cutter DIN 327 Type N, 14 mm, HSS‑Co8 – TECWERK

A Keyseat cutter DIN 327 Type N designed for milling keyways and deep slots in steel and cast iron with a short, rigid profile for high-accuracy machining

• HSS‑Co8 for high wear resistance
• Three‑flute geometry for smooth cutting
• Weldon shank Ø12 mm for secure clamping
• Short design for high rigidity and accuracy

Consistent cutting performance through high-grade material and standard compliance

The short slotting cutter is manufactured from HSS‑Co8, a high-cobalt tool steel that raises red‑hardness and wear resistance compared with standard HSS. Conformance to DIN 327 ensures dimensional compatibility and predictable performance in series production. The material choice results in sustained cutting edges under elevated temperatures, meaning longer intervals between regrinds and reduced downtime for routine keyway milling operations.

Faster, more stable machining thanks to the three‑flute layout and Weldon shank

The three‑flute geometry balances chip evacuation and cutting engagement to produce smoother keyways with reduced vibration. The short form of the tool increases rigidity at the cutting zone; combined with the Weldon shank and 12 mm shank diameter, clamping stability is improved, which benefits concentricity and tool life. These attributes translate into higher first‑pass yields on components where tolerances and surface finish are essential.

Clear indications of material application and machining limits

The cutter is optimised for demanding ferrous work: very good suitability for steel and cast iron, with conditional use on stainless and certain non‑ferrous alloys. Performance guidance states suitability up to 800 N/mm² with the uncoated tool; coating can extend capability on harder materials. For engineers and workshop planners, this means reliable material selection for keyway operations without over‑specifying cutting data.

Practical handling, chip control and maintenance advice

The tool’s short design and reduced overhang minimise deflection during plunge and peripheral cuts, while the clearance grind 11.5 mm supports chip flow and reduces heat build‑up. Right‑hand cutting direction and the effective length 26 mm offer predictable engagement for end‑and face‑milling of keyways. When wear is observed on the flank or rake faces, regrinding to original geometry restores performance; routine inspection of the Weldon flat prevents slip in the holder and preserves part accuracy.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK keyseat cutter (Keyseat cutter DIN 327 Type N, SKU 2000866190NW) is very well suited for steel and cast iron, with conditional performance on stainless and certain non‑ferrous alloys.

What does HSS‑Co8 mean for tool life?
HSS‑Co8 denotes a high‑cobalt high‑speed steel used in the TECWERK slotting cutter that improves heat resistance and retains hardness at higher cutting temperatures, extending tool life compared with standard HSS.

Can this cutter be used for deep keyways?
The short version is optimised for deep keyways with high rigidity at the cutting edge; the cutter’s geometry supports deeper slotting when holder setup minimises overhang.

Is the shank compatible with standard holders?
The cutter features a Weldon shank with a 12 mm diameter; the Weldon flat suits standard collet blocks and Weldon‑style chucks for secure clamping.

How is chip evacuation managed during milling?
The three‑flute design and a clearance grind of 11.5 mm on the TECWERK cutter promote chip flow and reduce heat accumulation, improving surface finish and reducing rework
