TECWERK solid carbide end mill WN Type N Ø 12 mm, TiAlN, 35° helix, 4 flutes, extra-short

The TECWERK solid carbide end mill WN Type N Ø 12 mm TiAlN is a compact, high‑stiffness cutter designed for high‑performance roughing and finishing in steels up to 45 HRC and in cast iron, with conditional suitability for stainless and non‑ferrous metals

• Solid carbide, fine grain, TiAlN-coated
• 35° helix with 4 flutes for stable chips
• Extra-short geometry for vibration reduction

Consistent high removal rates with extended tool life

The combination of solid carbide fine grain and a TiAlN coating increases heat resistance and wear stability, enabling higher feeds and longer tool life. The proven HPC geometry with unequal pitch suppresses harmonics and reduces chatter, so greater material removal can be achieved without compromising surface finish. The 4 flutes and 35° helix support efficient chip evacuation, while the extra-short design enhances rigidity for operations where overhang is limited, giving a measurable increase in process reliability on both CNC machining centres and compact milling setups.

Versatile performance across steels and cast materials

Designed for flexible use, the cutter achieves very good results in cast iron and is very well suited to steels up to 45 HRC, while stainless steel and many non‑ferrous alloys perform acceptably under adapted parameters. The tool’s centre cutting geometry allows limited plunging and pocket entry, and the combination of Ø 12 mm diameter with a 4 mm cut length suits short‑chipping operations and groove work. This versatility cuts down on tool inventory and permits both roughing and finishing passes with the same cutter where process stability is required.

Precision shank and features for stable machining

A shank produced to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance ensures concentric clamping and predictable runout when mounted in collets or shrink chucks. The small 0.2 mm chamfer at the cutting edge reduces chipping risk at entry, while the right‑hand cutting direction and a short, stiff profile favour low‑vibration operation. Compliance with DIN 6527 and the tool’s form stability make this cutter a dependable choice for production environments that demand repeatable component quality and tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK solid carbide end mill WN Type N is optimised for steels up to 45 HRC and for cast iron, with conditional suitability for stainless steel and many non‑ferrous alloys when parameters are adapted.

Can the cutter be used for plunge milling?
Yes. The centre‑cutting geometry allows limited plunging and pocket entry, making it suitable for certain plunge and ramping operations.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining?
The TiAlN coating increases heat resistance and oxidative stability, extending tool life under higher cutting speeds and improving wear resistance in demanding steel operations.

Is the shank compatible with standard collets?
The shank conforms to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance, which ensures compatibility with standard collets and shrink chucks for concentric clamping.

What advantages does the extra‑short design provide?
The extra‑short geometry reduces overhang and increases rigidity, lowering vibration and improving surface finish in restricted‑access setups.
