TECWERK Short HSS‑Co8 End Mill DIN 844 Type N — 6 mm, 4‑flute, Weldon shank

The TECWERK Short HSS‑Co8 End Mill DIN 844 Type N is a short, centre‑cutting four‑flute cutter engineered for accurate milling tasks in steel and cast iron under low to medium strength conditions.

HSS‑Co8 for high thermal strength
4‑flute design for fine surface finish
Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
Short length for reduced vibration and rigidity

Rigidity and repeatable accuracy for industrial milling

The short, Type N geometry complies with DIN 844 and focuses on rigidity and repeatability: a reduced overhang and the short flute length minimise deflection during heavy engagement, producing consistent results in slotting and peripheral milling. The 6 mm diameter combined with a 4‑flute layout provides a balance between chip load capacity and surface finish, making the cutter suitable where dimensional tolerance and repeatable edge quality are critical. The HSS‑Co8 substrate offers improved hot hardness compared with conventional high‑speed steels, which supports elevated cutting performance in demanding production routines.

Material performance and cutting behaviour explained

Built from HSS‑Co8, the cutter provides enhanced wear resistance and temperature tolerance, which benefits operations on ferrous materials. The tool is specified as very well suited for steel and very well suited for cast iron, while suitability for non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel is described as conditional. The technical data indicate material strength guidance of approximately 800 N/mm² for uncoated tools and up to 1000 N/mm² when a coating is applied; this gives a clear basis for selecting the right tool and process parameters. The centre‑cutting geometry enables plunge cuts, reducing setup time for features that require axial entry.

Secure holding and handling advantages in the workshop

The Weldon shank with a drive flat (Mitnahmefläche) ensures positive torque transmission and reduces the likelihood of slip in the toolholder, supporting safer high‑feed operations. Short tool length diminishes vibration, which in turn enhances tool life and surface quality; together these factors lower rework rates and increase throughput. The right‑hand cutting direction and four‑cutting‑edge configuration favour steady chip formation in medium feeds, so production planners can expect a stable process window for common milling tasks in general workshop and light industrial contexts.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge milling?
The TECWERK short HSS‑Co8 end mill features a centre‑cutting geometry that allows axial entry, so plunge operations are possible within the tool's diameter and process limits.

Which materials are recommended for this end mill?
This cutter is specified as very well suited for steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel; refer to the material strength guidance of approx. 800 N/mm² uncoated and 1000 N/mm² coated for selection.

What advantages does the Weldon shank provide?
The Weldon shank with drive flat gives positive torque transmission and reduces slippage in the toolholder, enhancing clamping security and process reliability during heavier milling passes.

Can this cutter handle higher cutting speeds?
The HSS‑Co8 substrate offers improved hot hardness compared with standard HSS, permitting higher cutting performance in many applications; however, exact speeds depend on workpiece material, machine rigidity and cutting conditions.

What is the article number for ordering and inventory?
The article number is 2000866328NW for the TECWERK short HSS‑Co8 end mill (4‑flute, 6 mm).
