TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527K Type N – Ø 6 mm, Solid Carbide, TiAlN

A TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527K Type N engineered as a short, centre‑cutting milling cutter for plunge and slot machining across a wide range of steels and non‑ferrous materials

• Solid carbide with TiAlN for heat resistance
• Centre‑cutting three‑flute geometry
• Short design with neck relief for rigidity
• DIN 6535 HB shank with h6 tolerance

Versatile cutting for mixed and abrasive materials

The cutter is built from solid carbide with a TiAlN coating, which delivers improved thermal stability and wear resistance during high‑temperature operations. The centre‑cutting design enables safe plunging, while the unequal helix reduces harmonic vibrations for smoother cuts and fewer chatter marks. These characteristics translate into dependable machining of steel, cast iron, stainless steel, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium with silicon content, as well as many abrasive workpieces, making the tool a flexible choice for mixed production tasks.

Stable clamping and repeatable concentricity for precise results

A short tool body combined with a DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank and h6 tolerance ensures concentric clamping and low runout in most collet systems. The compact length increases rigidity, while the neck relief provides clearance where required to avoid collisions on deeper slots. A small 45° chamfer protects the cutting edges during handling and reduces the risk of burr formation at the tool‑holder interface. The result is consistent dimensional accuracy and reduced scrap rates across repeat batches.

Productivity gains through combined roughing and finishing capability

The three flutes and tailored geometry support both roughing and finishing passes: higher material removal rates are possible without compromising surface quality. Right‑hand cutting and the optimised land and rake geometry allow higher feed rates where the machine and workpiece permit, reducing the number of tool changes. The cutter’s design for vibration‑reduced machining shortens cycle times and improves edge condition, enabling smoother downstream processes such as honing or plating.

FAQ

Which materials is this cutter suitable for?
The TECWERK slot drill (SKU 2000866245NW) is suitable for steel, cast iron, stainless (Cr‑Ni) steels, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium with silicon content, as well as a range of abrasive materials.

Can the cutter be used for plunge cutting?
Yes. The centre‑cutting geometry allows safe plunge operations, so the cutter can be used for slotting and pocketing that require axial engagement.

What benefits does the TiAlN coating provide?
The TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and reduces flank wear, extending tool life under high temperatures and enabling higher feeds where the machine and workpiece permit.

What shank and tolerance are required for mounting?
The tool uses a DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance and a 6 mm diameter, so standard collets matching these specifications are recommended for optimal runout performance.

Is this cutter intended for both roughing and finishing operations?
Yes. The geometry and three‑flute design balance material removal and surface quality, making the cutter appropriate for combined roughing and finishing workflows.
