5mm Helical Slot Cutter 15mm Cutting Length Solid Carbide TiAlN Coating, DIN 6527L - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of a solid‑carbide, TiAlN‑coated geometry and a vibration‑reduced neck relief for precise slotting and consistent tool life; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our advisors for application guidance.

TECWERK Slot Milling Cutter DIN 6527L – 5 mm, Solid Carbide, TiAlN-coated

The TECWERK Slot Milling Cutter DIN 6527L is a long, two‑flute solid‑carbide tool designed for slotting, keyway and groove operations across a wide range of metals and abrasive materials

• Solid carbide with TiAlN coating
• 45° protective chamfer and centre cut
• Neck relief for vibration‑reduced machining
• Very good for steels and non‑ferrous metals

High precision and efficient slotting for production use

The long variant features a 5 mm diameter and 15 mm cutting length, combining reach with rigidity for efficient slot production. The two‑flute configuration and centre cut permit controlled entry into the workpiece, reducing dwell and enabling plunge machining where required. This geometry converts machine power into clean material removal, improving cycle times and delivering repeatable slot width and surface finish. Such predictable performance supports lean production and reduces rework.

Coating and substrate engineered for durability

A solid‑carbide substrate with TiAlN coating offers high thermal and abrasive resistance, maintaining edge integrity at elevated cutting speeds. The coating protects against oxidation and wear on demanding materials, extending tool life and reducing tool change frequency. For operators unfamiliar with coatings: TiAlN (titanium aluminium nitride) forms a protective layer that increases hardness at temperature, which is particularly beneficial during interrupted cuts and high‑load passes.

Versatility across materials and operations

The tool’s newly developed geometry makes it broadly applicable: excellent suitability for steel, stainless steel (INOX), cast iron, non‑ferrous metals, aluminium alloys with silicon, special alloys and abrasive workpieces. The dynamic helix and right‑hand cutting direction enable stable chip evacuation and consistent surface quality for both roughing and finishing passes. For complex applications, Metav Werkzeuge can provide additional guidance on feeds and speeds to match the component material and machine capability.

Shank design and vibration control for reliable results

A cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance and a 6 mm shank diameter ensures concentric clamping and secure toolholding. The tool incorporates a neck relief (4.8 mm) that reduces chatter in deeper slots while the 45° protective chamfer (0.12 mm) safeguards the leading edge during engagement. Together these features reduce the risk of edge breakage and support smoother cutting behaviour on flexible setups or longer overhangs, improving first‑pass yield and operator confidence.
