TECWERK HSS‑Co8 End Mill DIN 844 Type N, 2 mm — TiCN coated, Weldon shank, 4‑flute (short)

The TECWERK HSS‑Co8 End Mill DIN 844 Type N, 2 mm is a short, centre‑cut four‑flute cutter designed for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron with a Weldon shank for secure clamping and reliable chip evacuation

• HSS‑Co8 for high wear resistance
• TiCN coating extends tool life
• Weldon shank ensures secure clamping
• Centre‑cut, 4‑flute for plunge and milling

Efficient cutting performance for demanding materials

The alloyed high‑speed steel HSS‑Co8 combined with a TiCN surface provides a robust balance between toughness and wear resistance, making the cutter suitable for interrupted cuts and moderate feeds. With an uncoated tool the geometry supports machining up to 800 N/mm² tensile strength, while the TiCN coating increases the capacity to around 1000 N/mm², allowing machining of tougher grades without premature tool wear. This performance translates into fewer tool changes and more productive machining cycles on common workshop materials.

Stable clamping and secure plunge capability

A Weldon shank with a drive flat and a cylindrical shaft offers reliable axial and torsional retention in set screws and hydraulic chucks, reducing slippage under load. The short overall length and 4‑flute design improve rigidity for accurate finishes and positional stability. The centre‑cut geometry enables safe and efficient plunge milling as well as side machining; centre‑cut means the tool can enter the workpiece axially without a pre‑drilled hole, simplifying operations that require direct entry into material.

Material suitability and practical applications

Designed to machine a broad range of workshop materials, the cutter shows very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable depending on the cutting data and workpiece hardness. The tool conforms to DIN 844 Type N for geometry and shank form and is right‑hand cutting, which aligns with standard milling programmes. For users seeking a compact tool for finishing and semi‑finishing, the combination of short geometry and four cutting edges delivers consistent surface quality with controlled chip formation.

Operational benefits and process reliability

Choosing this short HSS tool reduces vibration at the cutter tip and shortens tool overhang, which benefits dimensional stability and repeatability in small to medium batch production. The TiCN coating improves resistance to adhesive wear and thermal softening, particularly when machining stainless grades. Together with the secure Weldon clamping, the tool supports predictable tool life and a steady production rhythm. For workshops aiming to simplify procurement while keeping high precision, this cutter integrates into standard tool holders and tool management systems with minimal adaptation.

FAQ

Which materials is this cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK HSS‑Co8 end mill is very well suited for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional use on non‑ferrous metals and special alloys depending on cutting parameters.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts into solid material?
Yes — the centre‑cut geometry allows axial entry and safe plunge milling without the need for a pre‑drilled entry hole.

What are the advantages of the TiCN coating?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces adhesive wear, improving tool life and permitting machining up to about 1000 N/mm² in many cases.

Is the Weldon shank compatible with standard collets and chucks?
The Weldon shank provides a drive flat for set‑screw clamping and is compatible with standard tool holders designed to accept cylindrical shanks with a drive flat.

What standard and type does the cutter follow?
The tool conforms to DIN 844 Type N, indicating the standardised geometry and shank form intended for short, robust end mills.
