End mill DIN 844 Type N, 5 mm — Short 4‑Flute Weldon (TECWERK)

A TECWERK end mill DIN 844 Type N designed for short, precise slotting and plunge operations in cast iron and medium‑strength steels, featuring a centre‑cut geometry and a Weldon cylindrical shank with drive flat

• HSS‑Co8 for high red hardness
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• 4‑flute short design for stable slotting
• Centre‑cut geometry for plunge milling
• Suitable for steel and cast iron machining

High‑temperature cutting performance for durable machining

Made from HSS‑Co8, this short 4‑flute cutter is engineered to maintain cutting edge integrity at elevated temperatures encountered during heavy cuts. The centre‑cut geometry allows for controlled plunging, converting vertical entry into a clean cut without specialised drills. The compact length reduces lever‑arm deflection and helps suppress chatter, resulting in more consistent surface finishes and longer tool life compared with longer, slender cutters. These characteristics translate directly into fewer tool changes and improved process uptime on production floors.

Secure mounting and process stability in everyday milling

The Weldon shank with an axial drive flat delivers positive torque transfer and secure clamping in standard toolholders, reducing the risk of slippage during interrupted cuts. Right‑hand cutting direction and the cylindrical shaft maximise compatibility with common milling spindles and collet systems. Stable mounting combined with the cutter’s short form factor improves runout control and repeatability, which is particularly beneficial for repetitive slotting or small pocket machining where precision and reproducibility are required.

Adapted for the materials and strengths encountered in workshops

This cutter is specified for machining materials up to approximately 800 N/mm² with an uncoated tool and up to 1,000 N/mm² when coated, making it well suited to medium‑strength steel and cast iron. Its suitability for non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel (INOX) is conditional; process parameters and potential coatings should be considered for higher demands. The four‑flute layout promotes good chip evacuation in slotting, while the centre‑cut feature enables limited plunge cuts without pre‑drilling, expanding the range of viable tasks in a busy workshop environment.

A practical choice for professional workshops and production cells

Compact, robust and straightforward to integrate into existing tool inventories, this short end mill supports a pragmatic production approach: fewer tool variants, predictable performance and easier tool handling. Metav’s distribution philosophy of democratising precision ensures reliable supply and technical backing from a central stock in Emmerich, supporting both one‑man workshops and larger production facilities. For complex applications or to adapt the tool for specific materials, Metav Werkzeuge’s advisors can provide machining recommendations and compatibility checks.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge milling?
The TECWERK end mill has a centre‑cut geometry that allows controlled plunge milling and limited vertical entry without pre‑drilling, making it suitable for light plunge operations.

Which materials does the cutter machine best?
The short HSS‑Co8 tool is very well suited to steel and cast iron, with conditional applicability to non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel depending on cutting data and coating.

What does the Weldon shank provide?
A Weldon shank with drive flat ensures secure clamping and positive torque transmission, improving process stability during interrupted cuts.

Can this tool be used for high‑strength steels?
With an appropriate coating the tool’s capability increases; the specification notes machining up to approx. 1,000 N/mm² when coated, so selection should consider the specific alloy and process requirements.

How is the tool supplied and what is the article number?
The tool is supplied in packaging unit 1 and is listed under article number 2000866326NW.
