TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527K Type N — 3 mm, solid carbide, TiAlN‑coated

The TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527K Type N is a short, three‑flute solid carbide cutter designed for low‑vibration milling and versatile use in steels, castings and non‑ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide, TiAlN coating for long tool life
• Three‑flute geometry with centre cutting
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HB, shank Ø 6 mm
• Designed for low‑vibration roughing and finishing

Durable, high‑precision construction for consistent results

The short, rigid design of this cutter is based on solid carbide core material and a TiAlN surface treatment that together extend edge life and heat resistance in high‑load operations. Conforming to DIN 6527, the tool features a three‑flute layout with centre cutting, enabling controlled plunging and side milling with reduced chatter. The compact geometry improves stiffness and repeatability in cycle‑time critical production runs while the short overall length enhances positional accuracy in confined tool paths.

Proven performance across steels and non‑ferrous alloys

This cutter demonstrates very good suitability for a broad range of materials, including steel, INOX, and non‑ferrous metals, as well as aluminium alloys with silicon content. The combination of substrate and coating stabilises cutting at elevated speeds and reduces the need for frequent tool changes, supporting a clearer cost‑benefit calculation for mixed‑material batches. When used for both roughing and finishing passes, the tool helps maintain consistent surface quality and dimensional tolerance, reducing rework and improving throughput.

Geometry and coating that stabilise machining

Engineered with an unequal pitch and a 45° entry, plus a defined 45° chamfer, the cutter reduces harmonic excitation and promotes smooth chip evacuation. The neck relief 2.9 mm (freischliff) and a centre cutting edge allow low‑vibration engagement even on interrupted cuts, while the right‑hand cutting direction and optimised flute spacing support clean shearing in abrasive and mixed‑alloy tasks. These design elements come together to make the tool particularly suitable for low‑vibration milling and precise roughing and finishing operations.

Ready for integration in precision workflows

Shank design follows DIN 6535 HB with a shank Ø 6 mm and shank tolerance h6, facilitating secure clamping in standard holders and machining centres. The cutter’s short form factor and centre capability make it straightforward to integrate into tight fixture layouts and automated tool‑change systems, preserving spindle life and maintaining process reliability. The tool is presented as a ready‑to‑use item for workshops looking to consolidate tooling across a range of ferrous and non‑ferrous applications; the label and SKU are provided for straightforward inventory management.

FAQ

What materials is the cutter suited to?
The cutter is specified for a wide spectrum of materials; the TECWERK slot drill shows very good suitability for steel, INOX, castings, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon.

Can the tool plunge or is it for side milling only?
Thanks to its centre cutting geometry, the tool can perform plunging as well as radial milling, allowing flexible use in pocketing and slotting operations.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit the cutting process?
The TiAlN coating increases heat resistance and reduces adhesive wear, so the tool maintains edge stability during higher cutting speeds and hard cutting conditions.

What ensures low‑vibration performance?
Unequal pitch, optimised flute spacing and the 45° chamfer work together to dampen harmonics; the short, rigid configuration further reduces chatter for more stable cuts.

Which shank and clamping standards apply?
The cutter is supplied with a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB, shank Ø 6 mm and shank tolerance h6, compatible with common precision holders and tool‑change systems.
