12mm Cutter For Drill Grooves, Solid Carbide TiAlN-Coated, 35mm Effective Length, DIN 6527 - TECWERK

This solid carbide cutter combines VHM construction with a TiAlN coating for long tool life and thermal resistance, plus a 35 mm effective cutting length for versatile slotting; order the slot milling cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for application advice.

Slot milling cutter DIN 6527L Type N, Ø12 mm — Solid carbide, TiAlN (TECWERK)

A slot milling cutter DIN 6527L Type N engineered for vibration‑reduced roughing and finishing across steels and non‑ferrous materials

• Solid carbide VHM, fine-grain
• TiAlN coating for heat resistance
• Two flutes with centre cutting
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HB h6

Precision carbide and coating for extended service life

The combination of VHM (solid carbide) and a TiAlN surface layer gives a robust cutting edge that tolerates elevated temperatures and sustained cutting cycles. This composition reduces flank wear and preserves geometry during medium to high cutting speeds, resulting in a predictable tool life and fewer tool changes. For production environments where uptime and repeatability matter, the optimised substrate and coating balance abrasion resistance with toughness to maintain consistent slot dimensions.

Geometry tuned to reduce vibration and deliver quality finishes

A refined helix and neck relief provide a vibration‑reduced cutting action that is beneficial when working with long overhangs or deep slots. The cutter’s two flutes and centre cutting capability enable secure plunge starts and efficient chip evacuation, making the tool suitable for both roughing and finishing passes. The 45° chamfer and dynamic helix support stable engagement in interrupted cuts and help to maintain surface integrity on the workpiece.

Broad material compatibility and precise machine interface

Designed to cover a wide material spectrum, the tool is suitable for steels, cast iron, stainless steels and a range of non‑ferrous and special alloys — including aluminium with silicon content and abrasive materials. The Ø12 mm shank with h6 tolerance mates to a DIN 6535 HB cylindrical holder for accurate concentricity and reduced runout. An effective cutting length of 35 mm and a controlled free relief length ensure repeatable slot depths while the right‑hand cutting direction matches standard spindle configurations.
