TECWERK End Mill DIN 844 Type N – 18 mm, HSS‑Co8 with TiCN, 4‑flute, Weldon shank

The TECWERK end mill DIN 844 Type N (18 mm) is a short, four‑flute HSS‑Co cutter with TiCN coating, designed for machining steel, stainless steel and cast iron with precise centre cutting capability

• HSS‑Co8 high‑cobalt substrate for strength
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• DIN 844 Type N, 4‑flute short design

Durable substrate and coating for dependable metal removal

The combination of HSS‑Co8 substrate and a TiCN coating offers a robust balance between toughness and wear resistance, making this cutter particularly suited to demanding steel operations. The cobalt‑enriched high‑speed steel provides superior red hardness and edge stability, while the titanium carbonitride layer reduces adhesive wear and friction. This results in more consistent cutting forces and longer tool intervals, which supports predictable cycle times and lowers overall tooling consumption in repetitive milling tasks.

Short design and Weldon shank for rigidity and repeatability

A short overall length and a Weldon shank with a 16 mm diameter contribute to minimal deflection and secure clamping under higher feed rates. The cutter’s 4‑flute geometry enables good surface finishes on steels and improves material evacuation compared with finer flute counts when axial depths are limited. With an overall length of 92 mm, an effective length of 42 mm and a cutting length of 4 mm, the tool is engineered to maintain straightness and repeatability during intermittent cuts and finishing passes, especially where stability is critical.

Broad material suitability and practical machining notes

This short DIN 844 Type N centre‑cut end mill is rated very good for steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron, with conditional applicability to non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. The tool’s performance boundary shifts upward when coated: uncoated capability reaches approximately 800 N/mm², rising to around 1,000 N/mm² with the TiCN finish. Its right‑hand cutting orientation and centre‑cut ability allow limited plunge operations, while the robust substrate supports both light roughing and fine finishing where limited overhang is required.

FAQ

What materials is this TECWERK end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (DIN 844 Type N, SKU 2000866364NW) is rated very good for steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron; non‑ferrous and special alloys are conditionally suitable.

Does the TiCN coating significantly extend tool life?
Yes, the TiCN coating improves wear resistance and reduces sticking, which raises the tool’s effective application range to about 1,000 N/mm² compared with roughly 800 N/mm² for an uncoated cutter.

Can this cutter be used for plunge cutting?
The centre‑cut characteristic of this Type N end mill permits limited axial plunging, but its short, rigid design is optimised for stable side milling and finishing operations.

What clamping system is recommended for this tool?
Use a secure Weldon clamping arrangement for the 16 mm Weldon shank to ensure minimal run‑out and vibration; the shank form supports repeatable, rigid setups.

How does the 4‑flute geometry affect machining performance?
A 4‑flute layout balances productivity and surface finish, allowing higher feed rates on steels while maintaining good chip control and achieving smooth finishes in finishing passes.
