20mm Solid Carbide HSS-Co8 End Mill TiCN Coating, 4 Flute, Short DIN 844 - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of high toughness, a wear‑resistant TiCN coating and a compact short design for efficient, repeatable milling in workshops and light production. Order the TECWERK end mill directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application guidance.

End mill DIN 844 Type N, 20 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN, 4‑flute (TECWERK)

The End mill DIN 844 Type N is a short, four‑flute HSS‑Co8 cutter designed for precision slotting and face milling of steels and stainless steels in workshop and industrial settings.

• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• HSS‑Co8 body for high toughness
• 4‑flute geometry for reliable chip control
• Weldon shank, centre cutting, short type

High‑performance hardness and coating for longer production runs

The tool is built to the DIN 844 standard and manufactured from HSS‑Co8 substrate, combining toughness with wear resistance. The TiCN coating increases the tool’s surface hardness and reduces adhesion when machining stainless steels and alloyed steels; this raises the material limit from roughly 800 N/mm² with an uncoated tool to about 1,000 N/mm² when coated. The 4‑flute geometry balances cutting force and chip evacuation, making the cutter suitable for short, accurate passes where process stability and predictable tool life are priorities.

Compact design and geometry for stable, accurate cuts

The short Type N layout and centre cutting geometry allow plunge‑milling and accurate slot entry while limiting overhang to reduce deflection. Key dimensions such as cutting length 4 mm, effective length 52 mm and overall length 104 mm create a compact envelope that minimises chatter on small machines and benchtop mills. The right‑hand cutting profile and relief geometry support clean surface finishes on shoulder faces; the Weldon shank provides secure clamping in standard toolholders, improving concentricity and repeatability in serial operations.

Broad application range with clear material guidance

The cutter offers very good suitability for steel, INOX (stainless steel) and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys. This makes it a pragmatic choice for general workshop work, maintenance tasks and small‑series production where a durable, predictable tool reduces downtime. The combination of a tough HSS matrix and a hard TiCN layer supports intermittent cutting and mixed‑batch workflows, helping to lower tool change frequency and maintain throughput. If assistance is required to verify fitment for a specific material mix, Metav Werkzeuge provides technical advice and specification support.

Practical handling, mounting and compatibility benefits

With a 20 mm shank diameter matching the tool’s cutting diameter, the cutter offers straightforward clamping and minimal run‑out when used with compatible holders. The Weldon shank and the short tool profile permit fast changeovers and compact fixturing, which benefits busy workshops and production cells where floor space and cycle time matter. Supplied as a single item per packaging unit, the cutter integrates easily into existing tooling inventories and is suited to machines with limited quill travel while still delivering consistent results for short, accurate milling operations.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (SKU 2000866366NW) is very well suited to steel, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals and special alloys are only conditionally suitable.

Can the tool be plunged or is it only for side milling?
Thanks to the centre cutting geometry and short Type N design, the cutter allows plunge entry as well as conventional side milling operations.

How does the TiCN coating affect performance?
The TiCN coating raises surface hardness and reduces adhesion on reactive materials, improving wear resistance and extending tool life compared with an uncoated HSS‑Co tool.

Is the shank compatible with standard toolholders?
The Weldon shank and 20 mm shank diameter provide secure clamping in common holders featuring a clamping flat, enabling good concentricity for repeatable results.

What are the critical dimensions to check before ordering?
Check the 20 mm diameter and 20 mm shank diameter, overall length 104 mm and effective length 52 mm to ensure sufficient clearance and correct holder compatibility for intended machines.
