18mm Solid Carbide HSS-Co8 End Mill TiCN Coating, 4 Flute Short DIN 844 Z4, Weldon Shank - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co8 core, TiCN coating and a Weldon shank for reliable wear resistance and secure clamping in short‑reach milling operations; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

TECWERK HSS‑Co8 TiCN Weldon End Mill, 18 mm (DIN 844, 4‑flute, short)

A TECWERK HSS‑Co8 TiCN Weldon end mill designed for precise milling of steels, stainless steel and castings in short, repeatable passes

• TiCN coating for improved surface hardness
• HSS‑Co8 material for high toughness
• 4‑flute short design for precise slotting
• Weldon shank with secure clamping fit

Durable cutting performance for repeatable production

The combination of a HSS‑Co8 core and TiCN coating delivers a balance of toughness and surface hardness that extends tool life, especially in intermittent or interrupted cuts. Conforming to DIN 844 and built as a short 4‑flute cutter, the tool is optimised for applications requiring reliable edge retention and minimal vibration. The modest cutting length of 4 mm and effective length 42 mm suit shallow slotting and shoulder milling where tool stability and repeatability determine part quality.

Secure clamping and dimensional stability on the machine

Designed with a Weldon shank and a 16 mm shank diameter, the cutter offers secure gripping in standard toolholders, reducing slip and run‑out during operation. The short overall length of 92 mm and the centre‑cut geometry enable plunging and axial engagement where necessary, while the right‑hand cutting orientation mirrors common machining setups. These mechanical choices reduce rework and support consistent tolerance adherence across batch production.

Broad material suitability with clear performance limits

This short end mill is rated for materials of low to medium strength; with the TiCN coating, cutting capability extends to around 1000 N/mm², while the uncoated condition is suitable up to approximately 800 N/mm². The tool is noted as very well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. Selecting the coated variant for tougher batches improves economy through fewer tool changes and longer uninterrupted machining cycles.

Practical handling and shopfloor integration

The compact design minimises overhang and the four cutting edges support efficient chip formation in shallow passes, lowering heat build‑up and preserving surface finish. For set‑ups requiring consistent slot widths or repetitive face milling, the short geometry and secure shank reduce fixture adjustments and expedite cycle times. For any uncertainties about compatibility with a specific alloy or cycle, technical clarification is available from Metav Werkzeuge’s specialists.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited to?
The answer: The TECWERK HSS‑Co8 TiCN end mill is very well suited to steel, stainless steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are conditionally suitable.

Can the cutter plunge or is it for side milling only?
The cutter’s centre‑cut design allows axial engagement, so the TECWERK end mill can be used for limited plunging as well as side milling within the specified cutting length.

What does the TiCN coating change in performance?
TiCN increases surface hardness and wear resistance, enabling the coated tool to handle higher tensile strength materials (up to around 1000 N/mm²) compared with the uncoated version.
