Short slot cutter DIN 844 Type W, 14 mm (TECWERK) — 3‑flute, HSS‑Co8, Weldon shank

Short slot cutter DIN 844 Type W, 14 mm (TECWERK) is a compact, centre‑cutting slot milling cutter designed for machining long‑chip aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals in workshop and industrial settings

• HSS‑Co8 with high wear resistance
• Three‑flute design with centre cutting
• Weldon shank with 12 mm shaft diameter
• 40° helix angle for long‑chip aluminium

Durable high‑speed cobalt construction for predictable tool life

The tool is manufactured from HSS‑Co8, a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel that increases red‑hardness and wear resistance compared with conventional tool steels. Built to DIN 844, the cutter provides a standardised basis for machine setup and tool replacement, helping to reduce unplanned downtime. The 14 mm cutter diameter paired with centre cutting geometry allows safe entry into the workpiece without mandatory pre‑drilling for many slotting tasks, while the short version reduces overhang and improves stiffness. These material and design choices translate into predictable cutting performance and longer intervals between regrinds, which supports cost‑efficient production planning.

Geometry engineered for clean chips and secure clamping

A three‑flute configuration in combination with a 40° helix angle promotes effective chip formation and evacuation when machining long‑chip aluminium grades and other non‑ferrous materials. The Weldon shank — a cylindrical shaft with a drive flat — ensures positive gripping in holders that accept Weldon clamps, reducing the risk of slippage under side loads. The tool’s 12 mm shaft diameter and the specified relief length of 11.5 mm improve concentricity and stability in the spindle, yielding better surface quality and repeatability in serial production. Together, these features minimise chatter and preserve dimensional accuracy across runs.

Practical application, handling and process benefits

The short configuration is especially suitable for shallow slots, confined setups and toolpaths where reduced overhang is beneficial. The cutter’s right‑hand cutting and centre cutting capability make it adaptable for conventional slotting and light plunge operations in aluminium, brass and similar alloys. For workshop managers and process engineers, the combination of robust substrate and dedicated flute geometry delivers a balance of material removal rate and surface finish that is easy to integrate into existing tool cycles. Assistance with feed and speed recommendations, holder compatibility and reconditioning options is available; technical queries can be addressed by Metav Werkzeuge’s specialists, and reliable supply is supported from their Emmerich location.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter optimised for?
The cutter is optimised for long‑chip aluminium and a broad range of non‑ferrous metals; the HSS‑Co8 grade offers enhanced wear resistance for these applications.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts or must the slot be pre‑drilled?
As a centre‑cutting three‑flute design, the cutter permits light plunge operations in many cases; the short version improves stiffness for such tasks.

Which clamping system is required for safe operation?
A holder that accepts a Weldon shank with drive flat is required to secure the tool reliably under side loads.

What advantages does the 40° helix angle provide?
The 40° helix angle encourages smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces in long‑chip aluminium, supporting better surface finish and reduced built‑up edge.

Is this cutter suitable for high‑speed machining?
The HSS‑Co8 substrate withstands elevated cutting temperatures better than standard HSS; recommended spindle speeds and feeds depend on alloy and machining setup and can be provided by Metav Werkzeuge’s technical team.
