TECWERK slot drill (DIN 844 Type W) — 5 mm, HSS‑Co8, 3‑flute, Weldon shank

The TECWERK slot drill (DIN 844 Type W, 5 mm) is a long, centre‑cutting tool engineered for efficient milling of long‑chipping aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, offering precise slotting with a secure Weldon shank fit.

• HSS‑Co8 three‑flute geometry for long chips
• 5 mm cutting diameter with centre cutting
• Weldon shank Ø 6 mm with drive flat
• 40° helix for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals

Consistent accuracy through robust high‑alloy construction

The combination of HSS‑Co8 material and a 3‑flute design provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance that supports repeatable accuracy in serial production. High‑cobalt high‑speed steel improves red hardness and tool life compared with standard HSS, which means less frequent tool changes and fewer interruptions to workflow. The long version, made to DIN 844 Type W, maintains concentricity over its effective length, so cuts remain true even when reaching into deeper slots.

Reliable chip control and material matching for non‑ferrous work

With a 40° helix and centre cutting geometry, the cutter evacuates long, continuous chips reliably, reducing the risk of chip packing and overheating when machining aluminium and similar materials. This tool is specifically optimised for long‑chipping aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, giving a cleaner surface finish and enabling higher feed rates than a blunt or unsuitable cutter. For users less familiar with helix angles: the steeper helix helps lift chips away from the cutting zone, improving heat dissipation and surface quality.

Secure clamping and practical handling in workshop environments

The Weldon shank with a 6 mm diameter and drive flat ensures positive clamping in standard milling holders, avoiding slippage during plunge or slotting operations. The cutter’s centre‑cutting capability permits limited plunge cuts, which increases setup flexibility and reduces the need for secondary operations. In practical terms, this means shorter cycle times and more efficient use of machine runtime — a direct efficiency gain for production workshops and toolrooms.

Quality assurance and straightforward selection for procurement

Conforming to DIN 844 provides a clear, comparable specification for buyers seeking standardised slotting tools. The clear designation of material, flute count and shank dimensions simplifies procurement and inventory management. Metav’s European distribution model further supports consistent delivery and quality control: components are supplied via a central hub that functions as a quality filter for the market, ensuring the cutter meets expected tolerances and material properties.
