12mm Carbide Tipped End Mill HSS-Co8 Short 4-Flute Centre Cutting DIN 844, 11.5mm Relief - TECWERK

Benefit from the combination of HSS‑Co8 construction, a DIN 844 Type N short design and a secure Weldon shank for reliable machining of steels and cast iron; order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

End mill DIN 844 Type N, 12 mm HSS‑Co8 — short 4‑flute, Weldon shank (TECWERK)

The End mill DIN 844 Type N HSS‑Co8 is a short shank cutter engineered for precision milling and controlled plunge work in workshop and light industrial environments.

*HSS‑Co8 construction for high wear resistance
*DIN 844 Type N short design for compact setups
*Four flutes with centre cut for controlled plunging
*Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping

Consistent cutting performance for medium‑strength materials

The tool’s HSS‑Co8 composition combines high‑speed steel with cobalt to improve red‑hardness and wear resistance, making it well suited for continuous machining where heat and abrasion are present. The four‑flute geometry provides a good balance between chip evacuation and surface finish, while the centre cut enables regulated plunge cuts without immediate tool failure. This combination supports efficient material removal for components up to about 800 N/mm² in strength when used uncoated, delivering reliable cycle times and predictable tool life.

Reduced vibration and secure clamping for precision work

Thanks to the short design and a Weldon shank with drive flat, the cutter minimises overhang and reduces chatter in clamped setups, resulting in improved surface integrity and dimensional stability. The tool’s effective length 36 mm and overall length 83 mm are optimised for compact fixtures and pocket machining where rigidity is required. Shorter projection improves process reliability during interrupted cuts and when working close to shoulders or walls, helping workshops achieve repeatable results on small to medium batches.

Material suitability and workshop versatility

Built to DIN 844 standards, the cutter is intended as a robust versatility tool: very good for steel, very good for cast iron, and conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals and stainless materials. The right‑hand cutting direction and four cutting edges support general‑purpose milling tasks, from slotting to light face work. For operations demanding coated performance, coated variants increase capacity up to approximately 1000 N/mm²; the uncoated version excels where sharper edges and occasional regrinding are part of the maintenance routine, making it a pragmatic choice for workshops focused on serviceability and long‑term value.

FAQ

Is the cutter suitable for plunge milling?
Yes. The tool’s centre cut and four‑flute geometry allow controlled plunge cutting; the End mill DIN 844 Type N HSS‑Co8 (SKU 2000866334NW) is designed for regulated plunging in many workshop applications.

Can this end mill be clamped securely in standard holders?
The cutter uses a Weldon shank with a drive flat for secure clamping in holders designed for Weldon shanks, enabling stable torque transmission for the TECWERK end mill.

Which materials does the cutter handle best?
The tool performs very well on steel and cast iron; it is conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals and stainless steels, in line with the material recommendations for this end mill.

How many cutting edges does the tool have and what is their effect?
The cutter has four flutes; this provides a compromise between good surface finish and efficient chip evacuation, suitable for many general‑purpose milling tasks with the TECWERK HSS‑Co8 tool.

Is the tool compliant with any industry standard?
Yes. The design follows DIN 844, ensuring consistent geometry and interchangeability with other tools of the same specification.
