Slot drill DIN 6527L Type N, Ø 3 mm, VHM, TiAlN – TECWERK

A Slot drill DIN 6527L Type N Ø 3 mm engineered for low‑vibration slotting and plunge operations across steels, cast irons and non‑ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide fine-grain construction
• TiAlN coating for extended tool life
• Centre-cut three-flute geometry
• Unequal pitch for vibration dampening

Optimised cutting performance for higher throughput

The solid carbide body and TiAlN coating combine to provide high thermal resistance and reduced built‑up edge, enabling longer uninterrupted machining cycles. The three‑flute, centre‑cut geometry supports plunge cutting while maintaining good chip evacuation, so cycle times can be shortened without compromising surface integrity. Unequal pitch and a neck relief reduce chatter, which improves dimensional stability when slotting or when engaging in light finishing passes. The result is measurable productivity: fewer tool changes, steadier feeds and a higher ratio of first‑pass acceptable parts.

Practical handling that reduces setup risk

Designed with a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB and a shank tolerance of h6, this long‑reach cutter runs true in standard toolholders and collets. A 6 mm shank diameter with a protected 45° chamfer (0.07 mm) at the cutting edge lowers the risk of chipping during entry, while the intentionally unequal flute spacing suppresses resonant frequencies. For workshop staff, this means simpler tool handling and fewer reworks: the geometry is suitable for both roughing and finishing, and the centre‑cut capability removes the need for pre‑drilling in many slotting applications.

Versatility across materials with predictable results

The new geometry is a universal solution for a broad material spectrum: steel, stainless steels (Cr‑Ni), cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon content, plus abrasive materials and special alloys. The fine‑grain solid carbide substrate gives both hardness and toughness, enabling use at higher cutting speeds where uncoated tools would prematurely wear. When finishing, the cutter’s balanced flute design delivers a consistent surface finish; when roughing, its robust core and coating combination withstand the thermal and mechanical loads common in production environments. This flexibility reduces tooling variants and simplifies inventory management for maintenance and production planning.

FAQ

What materials can this slot drill machine effectively cut?
The TECWERK slot drill (SKU 2000866279NW) is suitable for steel, stainless steels (Cr‑Ni), cast irons, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon, as well as abrasive materials and special alloys.

Is this cutter suitable for plunge milling without pre‑drilling?
Yes. The centre‑cut geometry allows plunge operations, so the cutter can be used for direct slotting and pocket entry where a centre‑cut tool is required.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit production use?
TiAlN increases thermal resistance and reduces adhesion, which extends tool life under higher cutting temperatures and improves wear resistance in both roughing and finishing applications.

What is the shank specification and how does it affect toolholding?
The tool has a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with a 6 mm diameter and h6 tolerance, ensuring stable clamping in standard collets and minimal runout for precision machining.

Does the cutter reduce vibration during machining?
The unequal flute pitch combined with neck relief and a balanced three‑flute design markedly reduces harmonics and chatter, improving surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
