6mm Keyway Cutter DIN 327 Type N HSS-Co8 TiCN Short 3-Flute Weldon - TECWERK

Take advantage of the cutter’s combination of HSS‑Co8 substrate, TiCN coating and a secure Weldon shank for reliable keyway and slotting performance; order via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their technical advisors for material-specific recommendations.

TECWERK keyseat cutter DIN 327 Type N, 6 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon, 3‑flute (short)

The TECWERK keyseat cutter DIN 327 Type N is a short, three‑flute slotting cutter designed for milling deep keyways and face/side slots in steel, stainless steel and cast materials.

• HSS‑Co8 substrate for high durability
• TiCN coating for improved wear resistance
• 3‑flute design with centre cutting
• Weldon cylindrical shank with drive flat

Consistent performance in steels and stainless steel

The short slotting tool is built on a HSS‑Co8 substrate and, when combined with the TiCN surface finish, enables machining of workpieces with tensile strengths up to 800 N/mm² uncoated and approximately 1000 N/mm² when coated. This distinction matters in production planning: the coated variant allows higher cutting speeds and longer intervals between tool changes, reducing downtime and increasing throughput. The specification is particularly relevant when machining stainless steel where wear resistance and thermal stability determine tool life.

Geometry engineered for deep keyways and secure clamping

A three‑flute geometry with a centre cutting capability provides reliable axial engagement for slotting and plunge operations, while the short design increases rigidity in heavy engagement. The Weldon cylindrical shank with drive flat ensures a positive drive and reduced slippage in standard tool holders; the nominal 6 mm shank diameter suits compact collets and small milling arbors. Together these features support precise slot dimensions and consistent runout control in repetitive workflows.

Coating and edge preparation that extend service life

The TiCN coating reduces friction and improves edge retention under elevated temperatures, which translates into measurable productivity gains on longer runs. The cutter’s edge preparation and relief dimensions balance sharpness for clean keyways with robustness against chipping when encountering cast inclusions. For operations where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical, this combination both preserves geometry and lowers the frequency of tool regrinding or replacement.

Practical fit for workshop and small production environments

Designed as a short variant for rigid setups, the tool is right‑hand cutting and suited to face and peripheral milling of keyways, including deeper passfedernuten. The construction offers very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional use on non‑ferrous metals and special alloys depending on cutting parameters. For shops aiming to consolidate tooling choices, the cutter provides a compact option that reduces inventory while covering a range of routine slotting tasks.
