TECWERK DIN 844 Type N 6 mm HSS‑Co8 end mill — TiCN coated, Weldon shank

TECWERK DIN 844 Type N 6 mm HSS‑Co8 end mill — TiCN coated, Weldon shank is a short, four‑flute cutter designed for precision milling of steels, stainless steel and cast materials in demanding workshop and light industrial applications.

• HSS‑Co8 substrate for high toughness
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Short 4‑flute design for rigidity
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping

High rigidity and repeatable accuracy for steel machining

The combination of a HSS‑Co8 substrate and a short 4‑flute geometry delivers increased stiffness compared with longer cutters, reducing deflection in small‑diameter milling tasks. This construction benefits slotting and peripheral milling where dimensional accuracy matters; the reduced overhang supports consistent surface finish and predictable tool behaviour. Conforming to DIN 844, the design offers a standardised reference for clamping and tool selection in machine setups.

Coating that extends productive tool life

A TiCN coating gives improved wear resistance and a harder cutting edge, which is reflected in material recommendations: the tool is suited to machining materials up to approximately 800 N/mm² with an uncoated tool and up to 1,000 N/mm² when coated. The result is fewer tool changes and less unplanned downtime, which translates into lower per‑part tooling cost in repetitive production or precision repair work. In practice, the coating also helps maintain edge integrity during moderate interrupted cuts.

Practical geometry for secure clamping and plunge operations

The cutter features a centre‑cut (centre cutting) geometry and a Weldon shank with a drive flat, enabling plunge capability and reliable torque transmission in collet or Weldon‑style holders. With a 6 mm shank diameter and overall length of 57 mm, the balance of compactness and effective cutting length supports tight‑tolerance milling in small components. The 4‑flute layout improves chip evacuation at moderate feeds while preserving cutting edge strength for finishing passes.

Clear material suitability and application scope

Tool suitability is explicitly geared towards steel, stainless steel and cast materials where the tool shows very good performance; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are listed as conditionally suitable. The cutter is right‑hand cutting and intended for operations requiring short axial engagement—typical tasks include pocketing, small slotting and finishing contours in workshops and subcontracting environments. For complex material blends or unusual heat‑treated steels, consult machining data to match feed and speed to part tolerances.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for stainless steel?
Yes. The TECWERK DIN 844 Type N end mill is rated very good for stainless steel when used with appropriate feeds and cooling; the TiCN coating helps maintain edge life in such applications.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts?
The short, centre‑cut geometry allows plunge capability, and the Weldon shank provides secure clamping for controlled axial entries.

What are the key dimensions to check before ordering?
Verify the 6 mm diameter, 57 mm overall length and 4 mm cutting length to ensure compatibility with the machine setup and required axial engagement.

Which materials are only conditionally suitable for this cutter?
Non‑ferrous metals and special high‑strength alloys are listed as conditionally suitable; select cutting parameters carefully or consider alternative grades for intensive aluminium or exotic‑alloy machining.
