12mm Solid Carbide End Mill HSS-Co8 TiCN Coating Short 4-Flute Weldon Shank DIN 844 - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of a HSS‑Co8 core and TiCN coating for extended tool life, precise short‑reach milling and reliable clamping; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for application advice.

TECWERK End mill DIN 844 Type N — 12 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon, 4‑flute (short)

The TECWERK End mill DIN 844 Type N is a short, four‑flute cutter designed for high‑precision peripheral milling and slotting in steels and stainless steel, optimised for rigid setups and low overhangs

• HSS‑Co8 substrate for high wear resistance
• TiCN coating for longer tool life
• Short 4‑flute design for stable machining
• Weldon shank, 12 mm for secure clamping

Greater cutting stability for predictable production

The cutter combines a HSS‑Co8 substrate with a TiCN coating to balance toughness and wear resistance. The short design specified by DIN 844 reduces overhang and therefore deflection, which translates into more predictable tool life and improved dimensional consistency during slotting and peripheral milling. In practical terms, the reduced vibration lowers the risk of surface chatter and helps maintain tighter tolerances in serial production environments.

Geometry and clamping for accurate results

A 4‑flute geometry with centre cutting gives four effective cutting edges and supports a fine surface finish in interrupted and slotting operations. The Weldon shank and 12 mm shank diameter ensure a rigid, slip‑resistant connection to the toolholder for repeatable positioning. The tool is right‑hand cut and offers a cutting length of 4 mm, effective length 36 mm and an overall length of 83 mm, values that favour short‑reach machining with high stability. Material suitability is optimised for steels: very good for steel and stainless steel (INOX), very good for cast materials, and conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous and special alloys.

Designed for workshop efficiency and versatile use

Rated under typical shop conditions for materials up to approximately 800 N/mm² with uncoated tools and up to 1000 N/mm² when coated, the tool is aimed at workshops that need reliable throughput without compromising finish quality. The combination of HSS‑Co8 and TiCN keeps edge wear low in many finishing and semi‑finishing applications, while the compact profile reduces cycle time related to tool deflection and rework. For operations that demand consistency and reduced downtime, this cutter supports a steady production flow and helps maintain product quality over extended runs.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (DIN 844 Type N, SKU 2000866358NW) is very well suited for steel and stainless steel (INOX) and also performs well on cast materials; non‑ferrous and special alloys can be machined conditionally depending on the application.

Is the tool suitable for slotting as well as peripheral milling?
Yes, the four‑flute, centre‑cut geometry of the TECWERK cutter enables both slotting and peripheral milling in short‑reach setups.

How does the TiCN coating affect performance?
The TiCN coating on the TECWERK HSS‑Co8 tool increases wear resistance and allows milling of higher strength materials up to roughly 1000 N/mm² under coated conditions, extending tool life in many applications.

What clamping system is recommended for this cutter?
A solid Weldon‑style holder or a rigid collet system that accommodates a 12 mm shank is recommended to exploit the cutter’s short design and maintain rigidity.

Can this end mill be used for finishing hardened steels?
The cutter is optimised for steels and stainless steel within the stated strength ranges; for hardened steels beyond these values, specific high‑performance grades or coatings should be considered.
