Shank cutter DIN 844 Type N, 16 mm HSS‑Co8 – TECWERK (short, Weldon, 4 flutes)

A compact Shank cutter DIN 844 Type N (16 mm) engineered for short‑run milling and secure clamping when machining steels and cast iron.

• HSS‑Co8 high-speed steel
• DIN 844 Type N, four flutes
• Short design with centre cutting
• Weldon shank with drive flat
• Very good for steel and cast iron

Consistent cutting performance for medium-strength materials

The tool is made from HSS‑Co8, a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel that increases red‑hardness and wear resistance under elevated temperatures, which translates into longer life in intermittent or heavy milling cycles. With four flutes and a centre cutting geometry the cutter supports axial engagement and can perform plunge cuts as well as conventional milling; this design reduces cycle times and maintains surface quality when working at recommended feeds and speeds. The specification states suitability for materials with tensile strength up to 800 N/mm² when used uncoated and up to 1000 N/mm² with a suitable coating, offering clear orientation for selecting the right cutting strategy.

Secure clamping and rigidity for reduced vibration

A Weldon shank combined with a drive flat ensures positive drive transmission and reduces the risk of slippage in the toolholder, improving concentricity and repeatability in production runs. The short design increases rigidity and lowers overhang, which benefits dimensional accuracy and surface finish by suppressing chatter. These mechanical properties are particularly advantageous in small workshops and production cells where stable, predictable machining allows higher material removal rates and fewer reworks.

Practical application guidance to streamline workshop decisions

The cutter is classified under DIN 844 Type N and is right‑hand cutting with a cylindrical shank and drive flat, making it straightforward to seat in standard Weldon toolholders. Material suitability in the technical data indicates the tool is very good for steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel are marked as conditionally suitable; this helps planners choose the correct operation or to consider a coated variant for higher tensile materials.

FAQ

Which materials is this cutter suitable for?
The shank cutter DIN 844 Type N (SKU 2000866338NW) is specified as very good for steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel.

Is the tool centre cutting?
Yes, the cutter features a centre‑cutting geometry, enabling axial engagement and plunge milling operations.

What shank type does the tool use?
The cutter is supplied with a Weldon shank and a drive flat to ensure secure clamping and positive torque transmission in Weldon toolholders.

How many flutes does the cutter have and what does this mean?
The tool has four flutes; this offers a balance between chip evacuation and cutting edge strength, making it suitable for medium‑duty milling tasks.

Can the cutter be used on pre‑hardened or very high‑strength steels?
The technical data indicates suitability up to approx. 800 N/mm² uncoated and up to 1000 N/mm² with a suitable coating; for materials beyond these ranges, consider a tool specifically rated for higher hardness levels.
