2mm Drilling Groove Cutter HSS-Co8 3-Flute Short 3mm Cut 7mm Effective Length DIN 327 - TECWERK

The combination of HSS‑Co8 construction, a precise Ø2 mm cutting diameter and a secure Weldon shank Ø6 mm ensures reliable performance in non‑ferrous metal machining; order the slot drill directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for application assistance.

Slot drill DIN 844 Type W, Ø2 mm, HSS‑Co8 – TECWERK

A compact slot drill DIN 844 Type W, Ø2 mm designed for short‑run milling and plunge operations in long‑chip aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co8 high‑cobalt material
• 3‑flute short cutter with centre cut
• Weldon shank Ø6 mm for secure clamping
• Excellent for long‑chip aluminium and non‑ferrous metals

Precision performance for non‑ferrous production

The TECWERK slot drill combines HSS‑Co8 high‑cobalt steel with a compact geometry to deliver consistent results when machining long‑chip materials. The Ø2 mm diameter paired with a centre‑cutting tip enables safe plunge starts and precise slotting, shortening setup time on CNC and manual machines. Conformity with DIN 844 (Type W) gives a known standard for tool dimensions and tolerances, supporting repeatable positioning and interchangeability across fixtures and toolholders.

Design that supports chip control and stability

A 3‑flute configuration with a 40° helix improves chip formation and evacuation when working with aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and clogging. The short overall length and relatively large shank diameter provide higher stiffness; with a Weldon shank and Ø6 mm shank the cutter seats securely in setscrewed holders for reduced run‑out and vibration. The combination of effective length 7 mm and cutting length 3 mm balances access and rigidity, making the tool suitable for shallow slots, light face milling and precise detail work.

Practical suitability, handling and workshop integration

Prepared for right‑hand cutting and equipped with a cylindrical shank with drive flat, the cutter integrates easily into standard toolholders and collet chucks. The short, robust design minimises deflection during high feed rates typical for long‑chip aluminium machining, while the centre‑cut capability allows drilling‑into profiles without a pilot. For procurement and workshop planning this tool is an economical choice where repeatable slotting and small‑diameter milling are required; pairing with appropriate speeds and lubrication for aluminium will extend tool life and maintain surface finish.

For precision non‑ferrous machining choose the TECWERK slot drill with HSS‑Co8 construction and a Weldon Ø6 mm shank — contact Metav Werkzeuge for tailored advice and order coordination.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals?
Yes. The slot drill is optimised for long‑chip aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, with geometry and material selected to reduce built‑up edge and aid chip evacuation.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts or drilling operations?
The centre‑cutting design allows plunge starts and limited drilling into profiles, making it suitable for plunge milling and slotting tasks.

What shank size and clamping type are required?
The cutter has a Weldon‑style cylindrical shank with a drive flat and a shank diameter of 6 mm, intended for setscrew toolholders or compatible Weldon chucks.

Which specification ensures dimensional compatibility?
The tool conforms to DIN 844 Type W dimensions, which supports predictable interfacing with holders and fixtures in workshop environments.

How many flutes and what helix angle does the cutter have?
The cutter features three flutes and a 40° helix angle, optimised for chip control in long‑chip materials.
