TECWERK end mill DIN 844 Type N — 18 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon, 4‑flute (short)

The TECWERK end mill DIN 844 Type N is a short, four‑flute, centre‑cutting cutter designed for general milling of steels, stainless steels and cast iron.

• High‑cobalt HSS‑Co8 construction
• TiCN coating for improved wear resistance
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• Centre‑cutting, short 4‑flute geometry

Precision and cutting performance for productive machining

Crafted from HSS‑Co8, this short four‑flute cutter delivers a stable balance between toughness and hardness that suits interrupted and continuous milling. The 18 mm diameter and 4‑flute geometry provide a favourable chip load and surface finish when working on medium‑strength materials. As a centre‑cutting tool, it enables axial plunging where the process demands it, reducing setup time and simplifying operations. The result is consistent material removal with predictable tool life and minimal process variation.

Coating and durability that extend tool life

The TiCN coating significantly enhances surface hardness and reduces built‑up edge, enabling higher metal removal rates in many applications. With a coated tool the cutter can handle materials up to approximately 1000 N/mm², whereas the uncoated variant is suitable up to about 800 N/mm². This difference allows planners to select the right tool state for the component material, improving overall productivity and lowering tooling costs per part. The short design also reduces deflection in interrupted cuts, contributing to dimensional stability.

Material versatility and application scope

The cutter shows very good suitability for steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional applicability to non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. Its right‑hand cutting geometry and robust substrate make it well suited for typical workshop and light industrial milling tasks, from slotting and shoulder milling to finishing passes where surface quality matters. Where higher hardness or exotic alloys are involved, process parameters should be adapted and coated variants considered to maintain performance.

Secure mounting and practical handling for efficient changeovers

The Weldon shank with drive flat gives a reliable means of torque transfer and rapid tool changes in standard holders. The cylindrical shank with a drive flat simplifies clamping in common toolholders and reduces setup complexity, which supports shorter machine downtime. Combined with the compact short form, the cutter is practical for operations where space and rigidity are factors, enabling operators to maintain stable cutting conditions with straightforward fixturing.

FAQ

What materials are best suited for this end mill?
The TECWERK end mill is very well suited for steel, stainless steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally applicable depending on cutting parameters.

Is the cutter capable of axial plunging?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows axial plunging, enabling the cutter to perform plunge cuts in addition to peripheral milling.

What does the Weldon shank provide in practice?
The Weldon shank with a drive flat ensures secure clamping and reliable torque transmission, simplifying tool changes and reducing the risk of slippage during heavy cuts.

Does the TiCN coating improve performance significantly?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance, often enabling higher cutting speeds and extended tool life compared with the uncoated variant.

What standards and dimensions are relevant for this cutter?
The cutter conforms to DIN 844, has an 18 mm diameter and 4 flutes, suitable for many standard milling operations.
