Benefit from the proven HPC geometry and TiAlN coating combined with a short, rigid solid-carbide body for vibration‑reduced roughing and finishing; the cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB and h6 tolerance ensure reliable toolholding — order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our technical team for application support.

TECWERK WN Type N solid carbide end mill, 6 mm — TiAlN, 4‑flute, extra short

The TECWERK WN Type N solid carbide end mill is an extra‑short, four‑flute cutter optimised for high‑performance cutting, designed for HPC roughing and finishing in steels, cast iron and a range of non‑ferrous materials.

• Solid carbide VHM with TiAlN coating
• HPC geometry with unequal pitch
• 35° helix, centre‑cutting, 4 flutes
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HB, tolerance h6

High‑performance geometry for stable metal removal

The extra‑short solid‑carbide design with HPC geometry and unequal pitch minimises chatter and supports stable material removal when performing aggressive passes. This cutter’s TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and reduces built‑up edge under elevated cutting temperatures, which leads to consistent surface finish and longer tool life during both roughing and finishing cycles. The centre‑cutting capability enables plunge cuts and reduces cycle complexity on short‑reach features.

Precision toolholding and reliable clamping

Engineered with a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB and a h6 shank tolerance, the cutter provides exact concentricity in common toolholders. The short, rigid body reduces overhang deflection, improving dimensional accuracy on serial and fixture work. The small 0.2 mm chamfer at 45° protects the first cutting edge and eases entry, while the right‑hand cutting orientation and modest rake produce a controlled, soft cutting action for predictable chip formation.

Broad material suitability and application scope

Matched to HPC milling tasks, the tool is very well suited for steel and cast iron, and shows conditional suitability for austenitic stainless steel and many non‑ferrous metals such as copper and brass. The combination of 35° helix angle and four flutes balances axial cutting force and chip evacuation, making the cutter suitable for slotting, profile finishing and groove work in components up to approximately 45 HRC. For users seeking a single flexible cutter for mixed production runs, this configuration offers efficient changeover and reduced tool inventory.

Practical advantages on the shop floor

The cutter’s short, stable profile and TiAlN protection reduce tool wear and enable higher cutting speeds in many applications, improving throughput without compromising surface quality. Unequal flute spacing diminishes harmonic excitation, supporting quieter running and reduced spindle load. Supplied to industry standards and manufactured by TECWERK, the cutter is intended for workshops and production environments that demand measurable reliability and ease of integration into existing milling cycles.

FAQ

What applications is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK WN Type N solid carbide end mill is optimised for high‑performance cutting such as roughing, finishing and slot or groove machining in steel and cast iron, with limited suitability for stainless and non‑ferrous alloys.

Can this cutter be used for plunge milling?
Yes. The centre‑cutting geometry allows plunge operations; the extra‑short design further reduces deflection during axial entry.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining?
The TiAlN coating increases heat resistance and reduces adhesion of material to the cutting edge, improving tool life and finishing performance under higher cutting temperatures.

Is the cutter compatible with standard toolholders?
The cylindrical shank conforms to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance, ensuring accurate clamping in standard collets and holders that accept HB shanks.

What materials can be machined up to 45 HRC?
This cutter is suitable for machining steel up to around 45 HRC and delivers reliable performance in grey cast iron; harder or exotic alloys may require specific tool selection.
