TECWERK End Mill DIN 844 Type N Ø16 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon shank

The TECWERK End Mill DIN 844 Type N Ø16 mm is a short, four‑flute cylindrical shank cutter with centre cutting action, engineered for precise milling of medium‑strength steels and stainless materials in demanding workshop and production environments

• HSS‑Co8 high‑speed steel base
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• Four flutes with centre cutting action

Precision geometry for consistent, fast machining

The short, four‑flute geometry combines a centre cutting tip with a compact flute length to enable controlled plunge cuts and steady side milling. Made from HSS‑Co8, the substrate maintains cutting edge strength at elevated temperatures and supports reliable tool life. The TiCN coating reduces friction and increases wear resistance, which means more consistent surface finish and fewer tool changes during medium‑duty production runs.

Material suitability and application benefits

Designed under DIN 844 as a Type N cylindrical cutter, the tool is optimised for machining steels and stainless steels where high surface quality and positional accuracy matter. The data sheet indicates very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional use on non‑ferrous and special alloys. Coated operation raises the acceptable material tensile strength to approximately 1,000 N/mm², expanding productive use where uncoated tools would be limited.

Secure clamping and dimensional clarity

The Weldon shank with drive flat ensures positive transmission of torque in rigid toolholders and reduces slippage under load. Key dimensions are clear and compact: shank diameter 16 mm, overall length 92 mm, cutting length 4 mm and effective length 42 mm, with a relief length of 15 mm. These values support straightforward setup in standard collet systems and make tool selection predictable for CNC and manual milling operations.

Operational gains and workshop integration

Using a short, coated HSS‑Co cutter like this reduces downtime and simplifies tool inventory where versatility is required across similar component families. The combination of four flutes and TiCN surface treatment gives a balance between chip evacuation and finish quality, helping to maintain cycle times while achieving repeatable tolerances.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (DIN 844 Type N, Ø16 mm, SKU 2000866362NW) is very well suited to steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron; it is conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys.

Does the TiCN coating offer a significant benefit?
Yes, the TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, improving wear resistance and allowing coated operation up to approximately 1,000 N/mm² tensile strength for tougher steel applications.

Can the cutter perform plunge milling?
The centre cutting geometry enables plunge milling as well as peripheral milling, making the cutter versatile for a range of short‑reach machining tasks.

What ensures secure clamping in the holder?
The Weldon shank with a drive flat provides positive torque transmission and reliable clamping in compatible collet or chuck systems.

How many flutes does the tool have and what is the advantage?
The tool has four flutes, which balance chip evacuation and surface finish for medium‑duty finishing and semi‑finishing operations.
