Slot cutter DIN 327 Type N Ø6 mm HSS‑Co8 TiCN, Weldon shank, 3 flutes — TECWERK

The slot cutter DIN 327 Type N is a short, three‑flute cutter designed for milling deep keyways and slots in steels, stainless steels and cast materials with reliable centre‑cutting capability

• DIN 327 Type N, three‑flute design
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• HSS‑Co8 substrate for high toughness
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping

Precision and durability for deep keyways

The DIN‑standard short slot cutter offers high repeatability when machining keyways and deep slots. Constructed from HSS‑Co8, the tool combines wear resistance with toughness for intermittent cuts. The TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life, allowing higher cutting forces up to 1000 N/mm² when coated; uncoated use is suitable to around 800 N/mm². This combination translates into fewer tool changes and a steadier production flow.

Reliable performance across common workshop materials

Designed for face and peripheral milling as well as deeper keyway cutting, the cutter shows very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast components, while non‑ferrous metals and special alloys remain conditionally machinable. The centre‑cutting geometry enables plunge starts for slot entry without complex pre‑drilling, and the three‑edge configuration balances chip removal with surface finish, providing a dependable option for medium‑strength machining tasks.

Practical clamping and setup for efficient machining

A Weldon shank with drive flat ensures secure axial and torque transmission in standard toolholders and chucks, minimising slippage in interrupted cuts. With a Ø6 mm shank and cylindrical shaft, the cutter installs quickly and maintains concentricity in compact setups. The short overall length and defined effective cutting length help to reduce chatter on small machines, improving surface quality while keeping setup time low.

Faster throughput without compromising finish

The three‑cutting‑edge arrangement and defined clearance length aid consistent chip flow and reduced rework. For workshops aiming to increase throughput, this tool offers a clear advantage in cycle reliability: fewer indexings, longer intervals between regrinds and predictable life under specified cutting conditions. The result is a measurable uplift in productivity for serial keyway and slot milling.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for stainless steel?
Yes. The TECWERK slot cutter (DIN 327 Type N, HSS‑Co8 with TiCN) is rated very good for stainless steel and performs reliably in INOX applications.

Can the cutter plunge‑cut into material?
Yes. The centre‑cutting geometry permits plunge starts, so the cutter can enter slots without separate pre‑drilling when conditions allow.

What clamping is required for secure machining?
A compatible holder that accepts a Ø6 mm Weldon shank with drive flat is recommended to ensure axial retention and torque transmission during interrupted cuts.

Which materials should be avoided or require caution?
Non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys are listed as conditionally suitable; adjustments to feeds and speeds and trial cuts are advised to confirm performance.

How does the TiCN coating affect tool life?
The TiCN coating reduces friction and enhances wear resistance, allowing higher cutting stress (up to 1000 N/mm²) and extending service life compared with uncoated variants.
