TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527 L Type N, 6 mm — Solid Carbide, TiAlN, Long

TECWERK Slot Drill DIN 6527 L Type N 6 mm is a long, three‑flute solid‑carbide slot cutter with TiAlN coating and centre‑cut capability, designed for vibration‑reduced roughing and finishing in steels, cast irons and non‑ferrous metals.

• Solid carbide with TiAlN coating
• Long 3‑flute geometry for slotting
• Cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB h6
• Unequal pitch for vibration reduction

High‑performance coating and substrate for longer tool life

The tool combines a solid carbide (VHM) blank with a TiAlN coating and a fine‑grain microstructure to withstand high thermal and mechanical loads. The coating increases heat resistance and reduces built‑up edge, which extends tool life during aggressive cutting. For shops transitioning from HSS to carbide, the result is fewer tool changes and more predictable production cycles, translating into higher machine uptime and consistent component quality.

Geometry designed to cut fast and finish accurate

A three‑flute configuration with a centre cut enables plunge and slotting operations while maintaining chip evacuation. The unequal pitch reduces harmonic excitation, and the neck relief plus a 45° chamfer provide clearance at the entry to the cut, reducing chatter and improving surface finish. These features make the cutter suitable for both roughing and light finishing, so fewer tool types are needed for mixed‑operation workstreams.

Broad material capability for mixed production environments

The cutter is optimised for a wide spectrum of materials: steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon. Its geometry and coating also handle abrasive workpieces and many special alloys very well. In practice, this means production lines handling varied components can keep one universal cutter in the tool cabinet for multiple tasks, simplifying tool management and reducing inventory complexity.

Standardised shank and precise mounting for repeatability

The cylindrical shank conforms to DIN 6535 HB with a shank tolerance h6 and a cutter diameter of 6 mm, ensuring secure clamping and repeatable concentricity in collets and holders. A relief diameter of 5.8 mm and a 0.12 mm chamfer support reliable seating and axial stability in deep or long‑reach operations. These standards‑based dimensions ease integration into existing fixtures and CNC tool libraries without special adaptation.
