10mm Keyway Cutter DIN 327 Type N HSS-Co8 TiCN Short 3-Flute Weldon, Centre Cut - TECWERK

Take advantage of HSS‑Co8 hardness and TiCN coating for durable cutting and the secure clamping of a Weldon shank — ideal for robust slot and face milling. Order the keyseat cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

Keyseat cutter DIN 327 Type N, 10 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN – TECWERK

A Keyseat cutter DIN 327 Type N designed for deep keyways, end‑face and peripheral milling in steel and similar materials.

• HSS‑Co8 for high wear resistance
• TiCN coating extends tool life
• Weldon shank with drive flat
• Centre‑cutting, three flutes for stability

High cutting performance with durable materials

The short TECWERK keyseat cutter combines the HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN coating to deliver elevated hardness and thermal stability. This combination improves wear resistance and heat tolerance, which translates into longer tool life under demanding conditions. The tool is centre‑cutting, allowing plunge operations as well as conventional peripheral milling, while the three flutes ensure efficient chip formation and evacuation. Resulting benefits include reduced cycle times and more consistent surface quality when machining slots and keyways.

Versatile suitability across common workshop materials

Engineered for broad workshop use, the cutter shows very good performance on steel, stainless steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are processed conditionally. The geometry supports milling of deeper keyseats and combined face and rim milling operations. A relief grind of 9.5 mm provides clearance behind the cutting edges to reduce rubbing and workpiece overheating, and the cylindrical shank with drive flat ensures reliable torque transmission during heavy cuts. These design choices deliver predictable results for production and repair work alike.

Stable clamping and controlled machining behaviour

The short design increases rigidity and reduces deflection compared with longer variants, improving dimensional stability when milling narrow slots. The Weldon shank allows secure clamping in set‑screw holders for repeatable positioning, and the right‑hand cutting direction matches standard spindle rotations. The TiCN layer reduces built‑up edge on many materials, improving surface finish and reducing downtime for rework. Packaged per unit, this cutter is ready for straightforward integration into existing tool sets and toolchanging systems.

FAQ

Which materials is this cutter best suited for?
The keyseat cutter is optimised for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys; see the TECWERK designation (SKU 2000866210NW) for exact recommendations.

Can the cutter be used for plunge milling?
Yes — the centre‑cutting geometry permits plunge operations as well as peripheral milling, making it suitable for slotting and end‑face tasks with the TECWERK keyseat cutter.

What advantage does the TiCN coating provide?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces adhesion, which helps to minimise built‑up edge and extends tool life under higher cutting stresses when using the TECWERK tool.

How is the tool held in the spindle or holder?
The cutter features a Weldon shank with a drive flat for secure clamping in set‑screw holders, ensuring reliable torque transfer and repeatable axial positioning.

What cutting diameters and flute count are available on this item?
This specific version is 10 mm in diameter with three flutes, providing a balance between chip removal and cutting stability for keyseat operations.
