Slotting Cutter DIN 844 Type W, Ø 2 mm – HSS‑Co8, 3‑flute (TECWERK)

A Slotting Cutter DIN 844 Type W engineered as a short, centre‑cutting tool for high‑quality milling of aluminium and non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co8 for improved wear resistance
• 3‑flute design for efficient chip removal
• Centre‑cutting for plunge milling
• Weldon shank with 6 mm drive flat

Consistent performance in non‑ferrous production

The short slotting cutter is built from HSS‑Co8, delivering a balance of toughness and wear resistance suited to serial machining of soft, long‑chip materials such as aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals. The 3‑flute geometry reduces vibration and produces a steady chip flow, which in turn improves surface finish and dimensional repeatability. Because the tool is centre‑cutting, it permits controlled plunging into the workpiece, eliminating the need for a separate pre‑drill in many set‑ups and streamlining cycle times on smaller parts.

Secure clamping and improved tool life

A Weldon shank with a 6 mm drive flat provides secure clamping in setscrews and chuck systems, reducing the risk of slip under load and ensuring consistent tool run‑out across batches. The tool’s 40° helix angle promotes gentle engagement with long‑chip materials, encouraging chip evacuation and lowering heat build‑up at the cutting edge. The short flute length increases rigidity for fine finishing and keeps vibrations in check, which contributes directly to extended cutter life and fewer rejects in production.

Practical advantages for workshop and CNC environments

Designed to DIN 844 Type W standards with a right‑hand cutting direction, this three‑edged cutter supports reliable slotting and peripheral milling where compact tools are required. The combination of centre‑cutting capability and a compact form factor makes it suitable for operations on manual milling machines as well as CNC micro‑milling heads. For customers uncertain about fixture compatibility or machining strategy, technical advice is available to align tool choice with spindle interfaces and feed‑rate strategies, helping to achieve the expected surface quality with minimal trial runs.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for aluminium milling?
Yes. The TECWERK Slotting Cutter DIN 844 Type W is specifically designed for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, offering a 3‑flute geometry and a 40° helix angle that promote smooth chip formation during milling.

Can the tool be used for plunge cuts?
Yes. The centre‑cutting design permits controlled plunging, so the cutter can be used for short axial entries where a centre‑cutting end mill is required.

What clamping system is required for the Weldon shank?
A clamping solution with a setscrew or chuck that accepts a 6 mm Weldon shank and provides a drive flat engagement is suitable; the drive flat reduces slippage under torque.

Is the cutter suitable for use in CNC micro‑milling spindles?
Yes. Its short length and secure shank make it compatible with many CNC micro‑milling and smaller machine spindles, provided the spindle collet or chuck matches the 6 mm Weldon shank.

Can this tool be re‑sharpened or reconditioned?
Re‑conditioning options depend on local tool service capabilities; the cutter’s HSS‑Co8 substrate and three‑edge geometry allow for re‑grinding in many cases, though service should respect original geometry and helix angle.
