5mm Corner Radius Milling Cutter Solid Carbide TiAlN-Coated 3-Flute Short Shank Z=3, DIN 6527K - TECWERK

Benefit from the combination of a solid carbide body, TiAlN coating and a geometry engineered for low-vibration machining; the result is reliable performance for both roughing and finishing. Order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact our consultants for specification advice.

Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N, 5 mm – Solid carbide, TiAlN coated (TECWERK)

The Slot drill DIN 6527K Type N is a short, three-flute solid-carbide cutter designed for controlled slotting and plunge work across steels and non-ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide, TiAlN-coated
• Short, three-flute design Z=3
• Centre-cutting for plunging operations
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HB, tolerance h6

High productivity across mixed materials

A short, three-flute slotting cutter with a 5 mm diameter and solid carbide construction offers a practical balance of stiffness and cutting speed. The combination of a TiAlN coating and fine-grain carbide substrate improves wear resistance and thermal stability, which translates into longer tool life and fewer changeovers. For production environments seeking measurable throughput gains, this cutter supports consistent chip evacuation and stable cutting forces, making it suitable for both batch work and small-series runs.

Geometry that reduces vibration and improves surface finish

The tool’s unequal helix and dedicated neck relief create a cutting action that lowers harmonic excitation and reduces chatter. A centre-cutting geometry permits safe plunging while the 0.12 mm chamfer on the cutting edge protects the tool during entry and exit, contributing to a cleaner finish. These features make the cutter particularly efficient when alternating between slotting and peripheral milling, enabling reliable roughing and finishing in the same setup and reducing cycle times.

Precise shank specification for secure clamping

The cutter is supplied with a 6 mm shank manufactured to h6 tolerance and conforming to DIN 6535 HB, ensuring repeatable concentricity in collets and tool holders. With a relief length of 4.8 mm and right-hand cutting, the configuration supports vibration-minimised machining and predictable tool runout. The short overall length enhances rigidity, which benefits accuracy when producing tight slots or performing plunge cuts.

Versatile application range and handling recommendations

Designed for universal use, the cutter is suitable for a broad set of materials, including steels, cast irons, Cr–Ni alloys, non-ferrous metals and aluminium alloys containing silicon, as well as abrasive and special alloys. The combination of coating and geometry allows high-speed capable cutting while maintaining surface integrity. For best results, select clamping with appropriate runout control and moderate axial engagement during plunge operations; coolant strategy should match material and machine capability to extend tool life.
