6mm Solid Carbide End Mill DIN 844 Type N Long 4-Flute Centre Cutting HSS-Co8, Weldon Shank - TECWERK

Combining robust HSS‑Co8 construction, a four‑flute geometry and a secure Weldon shank, this long DIN 844 Type N end mill delivers dependable cutting performance for steel and cast iron operations; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their application experts for tailored recommendations.

End mill DIN 844 Type N – D 6 mm, HSS‑Co8 (TECWERK)

The End mill DIN 844 Type N is a long, four‑flute HSS‑Co8 cutter designed for precision milling and plunge operations in workshop and industrial environments, particularly where reliable performance on steel and cast iron is required.

• HSS‑Co8 high‑speed steel, 4‑flute design
• Centre‑cutting for plunge milling
• Weldon shank with drive flat
• Suited for steel and cast iron machining

Consistent cutting performance for medium‑strength materials

The combination of HSS‑Co8 alloy and a four‑flute profile provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness, making the cutter suitable for sustained machining of medium‑strength components. The cobalt content improves red‑hardness and edge life under elevated temperatures, which benefits uninterrupted production runs. This design reduces the risk of premature chipping when machining conventional steels, while maintaining acceptable chip evacuation and surface finish.

Accurate plunge and slotting thanks to centre‑cutting geometry

A centre‑cutting geometry means the tool can perform axial entry without pre‑drilling, enabling efficient pocketing and slotting. For workshops that require flexible operations—ranging from plunging to side milling—this characteristic removes an extra machining step and shortens cycle times. The four‑flute layout maintains a steady cutting engagement and aids in achieving repeatable dimensional accuracy for through and blind features.

Secure clamping and vibration control with the Weldon shank

The cylindrical shank with a drive flat (Weldon) provides positive torque transmission and secure retention in set‑screw toolholders. This reduces slippage under heavy cut conditions and improves stability during deep cuts or interrupted machining. Improved clamping reliability lowers the risk of tool rotation in the holder, which helps to protect the workpiece tolerances and extends the effective tool life of the cutter.

Material suitability and recommended application range

The tool is optimised for machining steel and cast iron, where it is rated as very suitable; non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel are possible on a conditional basis. Because the supplied item is uncoated, the practical strength range for workpieces is up to 800 N/mm²; where a coated variant is used, performance can be extended to approximately 1,200 N/mm². These guidelines assist in selecting the cutter for components rather than hardening states; for highly hardened alloys or specialty materials, alternative tool grades should be considered.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge milling?
Yes. The End mill DIN 844 Type N is centre‑cutting, which allows axial entry and plunge milling operations with the TECWERK long HSS‑Co8 design.

Which materials are best processed with this tool?
The cutter is optimised for steel and cast iron (very suitable); non‑ferrous metals and stainless steel are only conditionally suitable for this HSS‑Co8 version.

What benefit does the Weldon shank provide?
A Weldon shank offers a drive flat for positive clamping in set‑screw holders, improving torque transmission and reducing the risk of slippage under load with this TECWERK end mill.

Can this tool handle hardened steel?
As supplied uncoated, the tool is recommended for workpiece strengths up to approximately 800 N/mm²; a coated variant would increase the recommended limit to about 1,200 N/mm²—hard‑finish or hardened steels beyond these ranges require specialised grades.
