TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527L Typ N — 5 mm, Solid Carbide, TiAlN

The TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527L Typ N is a long, three‑flute solid‑carbide cutter with centre‑cut capability, designed for slotting, plunge milling and finishing across steels, cast materials and non‑ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide (VHM) with TiAlN coating
• Long three‑flute design with centre cut
• Unequal pitch for low‑vibration performance
• Cylindrical shank h6, Ø 6 mm, DIN 6535 HB

High‑performance geometry for dependable machining

The long solid‑carbide construction with a TiAlN coating gives the cutter excellent hardness and thermal stability, which supports long tool life under demanding conditions. The three‑flute layout balances chip evacuation and cutting engagement, while the centre‑cut geometry permits safe plunge cutting without pre‑drilling. Together, these characteristics reduce secondary operations and shorten cycle times, offering a measurable efficiency gain for mixed production runs.

Broad material capability for mixed batches and prototypes

Engineered for universal use, the tool is specified for machining common and demanding materials: carbon and alloy steel, cast steels and iron grades, stainless steel, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon content, plus abrasive or specially alloyed substrates. The combination of fine‑grain carbide and the coating makes the cutter particularly well suited to jobs where rapid material changes occur, allowing flexible workpiece scheduling and fewer tool changes.

Stability and surface quality through vibration control

Design elements such as unequal pitch and neck relief (Halsfreischliff) lower the tendency to chatter, especially in longer overhangs. The long variant provides reach for deep slots and stepped features while the h6 shank tolerance and DIN 6535 HB cylindrical shank ensure concentric clamping in precision collets and holders. These attributes result in consistent surface finishes and repeatable dimensions across batches, reducing rework and inspection effort.

Practical advantages in workshop use and process planning

A small 0.12 mm protective chamfer on the cutting edge preserves the geometry during handling and initial entry, improving edge life in both roughing and finishing passes. Right‑hand cutting with unequal helix also promotes stable chip formation, decreasing heat build‑up. The tool’s universal geometry allows straightforward integration into existing tool lists and NC programmes, lowering setup complexity and supporting rapid machinist ramp‑up.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this cutter?
The TECWERK slot drill is specified for a wide range of materials including steel, cast iron and its variants, stainless steel, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon content, as well as many abrasive or specially alloyed substrates.

Is the tool suitable for plunge cutting and centre operations?
Yes, the centre‑cut geometry allows controlled plunge machining and direct slot entry without prior drilling, making it suitable for through slots and pocket starts.

What clamping accuracy is required for best results?
A precision clamping system that accommodates an h6 shank tolerance is recommended to exploit the cutter’s concentricity and surface finish consistency.

How does the TiAlN coating affect performance?
The TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and wear protection, improving tool life in higher temperatures and abrasive conditions while maintaining cutting-edge integrity.

What is the exact product reference for ordering?
Order using the SKU 2000866283NW for the TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527L Typ N (5 mm) to ensure the correct long, TiAlN‑coated, three‑flute centre‑cut variant is supplied.
