TECWERK short solid carbide slot drill, 3 mm, TiAlN, 3-flute (DIN 6527 K)

The TECWERK short solid carbide slot drill, 3 mm, is a short, centre-cutting slot drill intended for precision slotting and plunge operations across a wide range of engineering materials

• Solid carbide, TiAlN-coated for long life
• Short 3-flute design with centre cutting
• H6 cylindrical shank Ø 6 mm, DIN 6535 HB
• Universal geometry for steel and non-ferrous

Consistent chip control and enhanced tool life

The short 3-flute geometry with a centre cutting face allows reliable entry into the workpiece and consistent chip evacuation during intermittent cutting. The combination of solid carbide substrate and TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and cutting-edge stability, which extends tool life under higher cutting loads. Where unfamiliar terms arise: TiAlN (titanium aluminium nitride) forms a hard, heat-resistant surface layer that reduces tool wear and improves performance when machining harder alloys. The tool name appears here as a reference for specification matching.

Reduced chatter for improved surface finish

An unequal pitch and a tailored neck relief (Halsfreischliff) reduce harmonic excitation, producing a low-vibration cut even in interrupted or slotting operations. This geometric approach offers a measurable benefit for achieving tighter dimensional tolerances and better surface quality, making the cutter suitable both for roughing and finishing tasks in short-reach applications. The short overall length further minimises deflection for stable milling in smaller setups.

Broad material suitability for mixed-production shops

The cutter’s universal geometry and robust coating make it highly adaptable: very good performance is indicated for steel, cast materials, Cr–Ni (stainless) steels and a wide range of non-ferrous metals, including aluminium alloys with silicon and abrasive workpieces. The centre-cutting capability permits plunge starts where required, while the design supports both high-material-removal and finishing passes in mixed runs, reducing the need for tool changes.

Standardised shank and reliable clamping for fast tool changes

A precise H6 shank with Ø 6 mm and adherence to DIN 6535 HB ensures repeatable clamping concentricity in common collets and chucks. The short design plus standard shank tolerance simplifies toolholder selection and helps to maintain process stability in serial production. Together with the coating and substrate, these features support predictable tool-life planning and consistent component quality.

FAQ

What materials can this cutter machine effectively?
The TECWERK short solid carbide slot drill (SKU 2000866233NW) is designed for very good performance in steel, cast materials, Cr–Ni (stainless) steels and a range of non‑ferrous metals, including aluminium alloys with silicon and abrasive workpieces.

Is the tool suitable for plunge milling or only side milling?
Thanks to the centre cutting geometry, the cutter permits plunge starts as well as conventional slotting and side milling operations, enabling flexibility in machining strategies.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining performance?
The TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and surface hardness, which reduces wear at elevated temperatures and supports longer tool life under higher cutting loads.

What shank standards ensure compatibility with toolholders?
The tool features a precise H6 shank with Ø 6 mm, compatible with collets and holders conforming to DIN 6535 HB for repeatable clamping and concentricity.

Does the cutter reduce vibration compared with standard designs?
Yes, the unequal pitch and neck relief reduce harmonic excitation, providing a low‑vibration cut that improves surface finish and dimensional stability.
