Keyway cutter DIN 327 Type N, 14 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon shank (TECWERK)

The keyway cutter DIN 327 Type N is a short, three‑flute tool in cobalt alloy high‑speed steel with a TiCN coating, designed for face and peripheral milling of keyways and similar grooves

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

High‑performance cutting for demanding materials

The short, rigid geometry combined with HSS‑Co8 (a high‑speed steel with cobalt) delivers consistent cutting performance when machining parts with moderate to high strength. The TiCN coating reduces friction and increases surface hardness, which raises the allowable cutting stress from approximately 800 N/mm² for uncoated tools to around 1,000 N/mm² when coated, enabling more aggressive feeds in suitable applications. This results in fewer tool changes and better process stability, particularly when milling stainless steel and cast iron, where the tool shows very good suitability.

Secure clamping and dimensional advantages for repeatable results

With a Weldon shank and a 12 mm shank diameter, the cutter ensures positive drive and reduced slippage in standard tool holders. The combination of a 14 mm cutting diameter, three‑flute geometry and an effective length of 26 mm provides a balance between reach and stiffness; the short overall length (73 mm) further increases rigidity for accurate groove profiles. Right‑hand cutting and a defined relief of 11.5 mm support clean chip evacuation and predictable cutting forces, which helps maintain consistent keyway tolerances across production runs.

Practical workshop benefits and application scope

Engineered to DIN 327 Type N standards, the tool is optimised for the machining of keyways, including deeper slots, plus face and peripheral milling tasks. The cutter is classified as a three‑cut short variant with central cutting capability, making it suitable for plunge and peripheral passes typical in keyseat work. Material suitability is clear: very good for steel, stainless steel and cast iron; conditional for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. The tool’s specification aids purchasing decisions by matching tool selection to component material and required groove depth without over‑specifying capability.

FAQ

What materials is this keyway cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK keyway cutter is very well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron; it is conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals and certain special alloys.

How does the TiCN coating affect performance?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, allowing higher allowable cutting stresses and extended tool life compared with an uncoated HSS‑Co8 cutter.

What does the Weldon shank provide in practical terms?
A Weldon shank provides a drive flat that secures the tool against rotation in the holder, improving clamping reliability and repeatability for serial machining.

Can this cutter be used for plunge milling keyways?
Yes — the Type N short geometry with central cutting capability supports plunge and peripheral passes suitable for keyway and slot manufacturing.

Which dimensions determine the tool’s rigidity and reach?
Rigidity and reach are influenced by the 14 mm cutting diameter, effective length 26 mm and a short overall length of 73 mm, giving a balance between stiffness and access for deeper keyways.
