Slotting cutter DIN 6527K Type N, 4 mm — solid carbide, TiAlN-coated (TECWERK)

A Slotting cutter DIN 6527K Type N designed for short, vibration‑reduced groove and slot milling across steels and non‑ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide, TiAlN-coated for long life
• Three-flute geometry with centre cutting
• Vibration-reduced design for smoother surfaces

Consistent wear resistance for uninterrupted production

Manufactured from solid carbide and finished with a TiAlN coating, this cutter provides high thermal and abrasive resistance that prolongs tool life under intermittent and continuous cutting. The three-flute, centre‑cutting geometry supports both plunging and radial slotting, reducing tool changes and downtimes. For workshops aiming for predictable cycle times, the combination of coating and fine‑grain carbide yields repeatable performance and lower tooling costs per part.

Broad material capability reduces tooling complexity

The tool’s geometry and coating enable efficient machining of a wide range of materials: high‑strength steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys containing silicon, as well as many abrasive workpieces and special alloys. That material versatility means fewer dedicated cutters are required on the shop floor, simplifying inventory and speeding changeovers while maintaining surface quality in both roughing and finishing passes.

Stable clamping and chatter suppression for accurate slots

A cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with a 6 mm diameter and h6 tolerance ensures concentric clamping and accurate run‑out. The cutter’s unequal pitch and neck relief create a vibration‑damped cutting action; this reduces chatter and improves surface finish in deep or narrow slots. Together, these features support tighter tolerances and minimise rework, which is essential for component repeatability in production environments.

Compact design that balances reach and rigidity

With a 54 mm overall length, a 3 mm cutting length and an effective length of 9 mm, the tool is optimised for short, rigid setups where precision and stability are priorities. The 3.8 mm neck relief and a 45° protective chamfer at the tip protect the cutting edges and facilitate controlled chip evacuation. Such an optimised profile delivers fast material removal rates without sacrificing finish, making it suitable for both shopfloor milling centres and high‑mix production lines.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined reliably with this cutter?
The TECWERK slotting cutter is suitable for a broad range of materials, with very good performance in steel, stainless steel (INOX), cast irons, non‑ferrous metals and many special alloys, as described in the technical features.

What shank size and tolerance does the cutter have?
The tool features a 6 mm cylindrical shank manufactured to DIN 6535 HB with an h6 tolerance to ensure precise clamping and low run‑out.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining?
The TiAlN coating on this solid carbide cutter increases thermal resistance and reduces abrasive wear, which extends tool life and maintains cutting performance in demanding slotting operations.

Is the cutter suitable for plunging operations?
Yes, the three‑flute geometry includes a centre cut that allows controlled plunging as well as radial slotting, offering flexibility for various machining strategies.

What design elements reduce vibration and improve surface finish?
The cutter’s unequal pitch, neck relief and optimised geometry combine to suppress chatter and promote vibration‑reduced cutting, resulting in improved surface quality during both roughing and finishing.
