8mm Solid Carbide End Mill TiAlN Coated 35° Helix 4 Flute Extra Short, DIN 6527 - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of solid carbide rigidity, TiAlN heat protection and an HPC geometry that reduces vibration for reliable roughing and finishing in demanding materials; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

TECWERK WN Type N solid carbide end mill — 8 mm, TiAlN, 35° helix

The TECWERK WN Type N solid carbide end mill is an extra-short, 4-flute cutter designed for high-feed roughing, fine finishing and slotting across steels, cast iron and non-ferrous materials.

• Solid carbide VHM for high rigidity
• TiAlN coating for heat resistance
• 35° helix and 4 flutes for fast chip evacuation
• Centre-cut design for plunge milling

Reliable performance and extended tool life for production

Built from VHM (solid carbide) and finished with a TiAlN coating, this cutter prioritises thermal stability and wear resistance to support continuous machining. The proven HPC geometry with unequal pitch reduces harmonics and chatter, which allows higher feed rates and fewer tool changes in production runs. As a result, cycle times fall and process reliability improves — a clear benefit for job shops and serial production environments that require consistently reproducible results.

Accurate results across a wide material spectrum

The tool delivers precise cuts thanks to its centre-cut capability and compact cutting length of 4 mm, enabling controlled plunge operations and narrow-slot work without special plunging tools. The 8 mm diameter and optimised flute geometry produce good surface finish and dimensional stability when machining steel up to 45 HRC, cast iron, aluminium, copper and brass; INOX and other non-ferrous materials are conditionally suitable. Technical terms: centre-cut means the end is ground to allow axial entry; HRC denotes hardness on the Rockwell C scale.

Stable clamping and machine compatibility for vibration-free work

An extra-short overall length (50 mm) and a cylindrical shank manufactured to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance ensure secure clamping and reduced overhang, promoting vibration-free machining even on smaller machines. The 35° helix supports efficient chip evacuation while the 45° protective chamfer (0.2 mm) improves flank strength at the cutting edge. With a right-hand cutting direction and a soft 10° cutting action, the tool is tailored for balanced material removal during both roughing and finishing passes.

FAQ

Which materials is this cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK WN Type N end mill is very well suited for steel up to 45 HRC and cast iron; it is also suitable for aluminium, copper and brass, with INOX and some non‑ferrous alloys being conditionally machinable.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts or drilling entries?
Yes. The centre-cut geometry allows axial entry and controlled plunge milling, making the tool suitable for slotting and interrupted cuts without pre-drilling.

What advantages does the TiAlN coating provide?
The TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and reduces adhesion of built-up edge, which extends tool life under high-temperature cutting conditions and supports higher cutting speeds.

Is the shank compatible with standard toolholders?
The cylindrical shank conforms to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance, ensuring precision clamping in collets and standard toolholders for stable machining.

What operations are recommended with this cutter?
Recommended operations are high-performance roughing (HPC), finishing and slotting where low vibration and high surface quality are required; the cutter’s geometry is optimised for efficient material removal.
