16mm Slot Drill DIN 6527L Type N Solid Carbide TiAlN Coated 3-Flute Long 45° Chamfer, Cylindrical Shank DIN 6535 HB - TECWERK

Combining solid carbide construction, a TiAlN surface treatment and a vibration‑reducing long flute geometry ensures high productivity and consistent surface quality in slotting applications; order the slot milling cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the team for application advice.

Slot milling cutter DIN 6527L Type N – Ø16 mm, solid carbide, TiAlN (TECWERK)

The Slot milling cutter DIN 6527L Type N, Ø16 mm (TECWERK) is a long, centre‑cutting three‑flute tool designed for vibration‑reduced slotting and groove milling across steels and non‑ferrous materials

• Solid carbide, fine-grain construction
• TiAlN coating for heat resistance
• Centre-cutting, long 3-flute geometry
• DIN 6535 HB shank, Ø16 mm, tolerance h6

Higher productivity through hard-wearing carbide and coating

The cutter is made from solid carbide (VHM) with a fine‑grain structure, combined with a TiAlN coating that increases thermal resistance and reduces flank wear. This combination supports higher cutting speeds and longer intervals between regrinds, translating into measurable productivity gains for series operations. The tool’s treatment also helps preserve cutting edge geometry during heavy stock removal, so tool life and process stability improve in continuous production environments.

Geometry engineered to reduce chatter and enable plunge cutting

A three‑flute, centre‑cutting design with unequal pitch disrupts harmonic vibration, giving a quieter cut and a more consistent surface finish when milling slots and grooves. The long variant includes a neck relief and a precision 0.2 mm protective chamfer, allowing deeper reaches and better clearance in stepped or recessed features. Because the cutter has a centre cut, controlled plunging is possible, which reduces the need for pre‑drilling in many slotting tasks and speeds up cycle times.

Broad material capability for mixed‑metal workflows

The tool’s geometry and coating make it very well suited to a wide range of materials: steel, cast irons, stainless steels (INOX), special alloys, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium with silicon content, as well as abrasive workpieces. It functions effectively for both roughing and finishing passes, giving fabricators and subcontractors a versatile cutter for mixed batches without frequent tool changes. Where fine finishes are required after roughing, the same geometry helps maintain dimensional accuracy while limiting heat build‑up.

Secure clamping and standardised shank for reliable mounting

The cutter is supplied with a DIN 6535 HB shank at Ø16 mm and h6 tolerance, ensuring repeatable concentricity when held in standard toolholders and collets. A relief length of 15.5 mm and the long flute profile combine to offer reach without compromising stability. The right‑hand cutting orientation and the vibration‑reduced form support steady chip evacuation and predictable tool behaviour in automated or manual setups, simplifying integration into existing CNC programmes.

FAQ

What materials can this cutter handle best?
The TECWERK slot milling cutter is rated as very well suited for steel, castings, stainless steels (INOX), special alloys and non‑ferrous metals, including aluminium with silicon and certain abrasive materials.

Can the cutter be used for plunge cutting?
Yes. The tool is centre‑cutting, which enables controlled plunging and can reduce the need for pre‑drilled starter holes in slotting operations.

Which shank standard and tolerance does the tool use?
The cutter features a DIN 6535 HB shank with Ø16 mm diameter and h6 tolerance for secure and concentric clamping.

Is this tool suitable for both roughing and finishing?
Yes. The geometry is specified for roughing and finishing, so a single tool can often cover both process steps, improving efficiency in mixed production runs.

Does the TiAlN coating improve tool life at elevated speeds?
The TiAlN coating increases heat resistance and reduces wear, supporting higher cutting speeds and longer service life under demanding cutting conditions.
