10mm Solid Carbide End Mill DIN 844 Type N 4-Flute TiCN Coated Weldon Short, For Steel/INOX/Cast Iron - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of high-temperature-capable HSS‑Co8, low-friction TiCN coating and a secure Weldon shank for reliable, repeatable milling performance in medium-duty production and workshop environments; order the cutter via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

End mill DIN 844 Type N (Ø 10 mm) – TECWERK, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon, 4 flutes, short

The End mill DIN 844 Type N (Ø 10 mm) is a short, centre‑cutting four‑flute cutter with a Weldon shank, designed for milling steel, stainless steel and cast iron in workshop and light industrial machining tasks.

• HSS‑Co8 substrate for high heat resistance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Centre‑cutting for reliable plunge milling
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• Short design for increased rigidity and reduced chatter

High‑temperature substrate and coating for longer tool life

The cutter combines a HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN surface finish to deliver improved red‑hardness and reduced adhesive wear compared with unalloyed high‑speed steels. In practice this means the tool can handle workpiece tensile strengths up to 800 N/mm² with an uncoated edge and up to 1000 N/mm² when used with the TiCN coating, extending service intervals and reducing unplanned tool changes. The listed material suitability—steel, stainless steel and cast iron rated as very good—translates into predictable tool life and consistent process windows for recurring production runs.

Optimised geometry for productivity and surface quality

A 4 flutes geometry balances material removal rate and surface finish: additional cutting edges allow higher feed per tooth and better chip control in medium‑strength materials, while the centre‑cutting design permits controlled plunge operations without secondary tooling. The tool’s short design increases stiffness at the cutting edge, which reduces vibration and improves dimensional stability, resulting in fewer rejected parts and less downstream finishing. These geometric choices support faster cycle times and a more reliable surface quality on standard workpieces.

Secure clamping and standard compliance for workshop use

The Weldon shank with drive flat ensures repeatable, slip‑free fixation in standard holders, so setups stay stable during heavy cuts and step‑downs. Conformance to DIN 844 Type N and the right‑hand cutting orientation makes the cutter compatible with common toolholders and CAM strategies. With a nominal diameter of Ø 10 mm, the tool fits compact spindle arrangements while offering sufficient cutting engagement for small to medium features. Together, these attributes lead to straightforward tool changes and predictable behaviour across different machines.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge milling into hardened materials?
The TECWERK End mill DIN 844 Type N is centre‑cutting, which permits plunge milling; however, hardness limits apply—use for materials up to approximately 800 N/mm² uncoated and 1000 N/mm² when coated.

What advantage does the TiCN coating provide?
The TiCN coating on this TECWERK cutter reduces friction and increases wear resistance, which improves tool life and performance when machining steel and stainless steel.

Can the tool be used on non‑ferrous metals?
The cutter is conditionally suitable for NE‑metals (non‑ferrous); performance depends on alloy and chip evacuation—optimised feeds and speeds are recommended for best results.

How does the Weldon shank benefit clamping reliability?
The Weldon shank with a drive flat prevents rotational slip in the holder and ensures consistent clamping force, improving repeatability and reducing the risk of tool loosening during heavy cuts.

Which workshop applications are most appropriate for this cutter?
This short, four‑flute end mill is well suited to medium‑duty milling tasks in general workshop and light production contexts, particularly for profiling, slotting and controlled plunge operations in steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
