End mill DIN 844 Type N, 18 mm, HSS‑Co8, Weldon shank — TECWERK

A End mill DIN 844 Type N designed as a short, centre‑cut 4‑flute cutter for reliable milling of steels, cast iron and selected non‑ferrous materials

• HSS‑Co8 material for improved tool life
• 4‑flute short design for stable milling
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• DIN 844 Type N centre‑cut for axial plunging

High cutting performance through material and geometry

The combination of HSS‑Co8 steel and a 4‑flute layout provides a clear performance advantage when machining medium‑strength materials. The cobalt alloy increases red‑hardness and wear resistance, which means longer intervals between tool changes and less downtime in production. The short design reduces overhang and improves rigidity, resulting in repeatable dimensional accuracy in slotting and face milling tasks. This engineering approach supports a steady production flow with predictable tool life.

Secure clamping and safe axial plunging for efficient setups

The Weldon shank with a 16 mm shaft diameter ensures positive, slip‑free clamping in suitable holders, reducing the time spent re‑checking setups and improving cycle stability. The DIN 844 Type N centre‑cut geometry allows axial plunging when needed, enabling plunge milling without compromising tool life. These features together reduce fixture complexity and speed up part throughput, contributing directly to process efficiency on shop floors and in small production runs.

Suitability across common workshop materials and typical applications

The cutter is optimised for steels and cast iron, with the specification indicating very good performance on steel and cast iron and conditional suitability for stainless and non‑ferrous alloys. For uncoated tools, machining is recommended up to approximately 800 N/mm²; coated variants extend that capability toward 1,000 N/mm². The tool’s short, centre‑cut form makes it well suited for slotting, shoulder milling and light face‑milling operations where rigidity and surface quality are priorities.

Practical handling, selection and compatibility guidance

Choosing the correct holder and feed‑speed combination is decisive for realising the cutter’s potential: secure Weldon clamping, reduced overhang and conservative initial feeds lead to the best compromise between tool life and surface finish. The solid HSS‑Co8 construction tolerates intermittent cuts and variable heat loads better than typical high‑speed steels, making the cutter a pragmatic choice for mixed jobbing environments and workshops seeking durable, low‑maintenance tooling.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The End mill DIN 844 Type N (TECWERK, SKU 2000866340NW) is very well suited to steel and cast iron; performance on stainless steel and non‑ferrous metals is conditional depending on cutting data and coating.

Can the cutter be used for axial plunging?
Yes. The Type N centre‑cut geometry permits controlled axial plunging, enabling plunge milling and reducing the need for pilot holes in many applications.

What clamping and holder type is recommended?
A secure Weldon clamping system with a matching 16 mm shank holder is recommended to prevent slippage and to maintain rigidity for accurate machining.

Is this tool supplied with a coating?
This SKU is supplied uncoated; cutting capability up to around 800 N/mm² is indicated for uncoated tools, with coated versions extending capability toward 1,000 N/mm²
