End mill DIN 844 Type NR, Ø16 mm — HSS‑Co5 cutter with TiCN coating and Weldon shank (TECWERK)

The End mill DIN 844 Type NR, Ø16 mm is a short, multi‑flute cutter designed for general milling of steels and castings up to approx. 1,000 N/mm² when used with a coated tool, delivering reliable stock removal in confined setups

• HSS‑Co5 high‑speed steel for extended life
• TiCN coating for increased wear resistance
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• Short multi‑flute design with centre cut

Consistent performance for workshop milling tasks

The short multi‑flute geometry provides a high material removal rate while reducing chatter in short overhangs. With HSS‑Co5 as the substrate and a TiCN surface layer, the cutter combines toughness and surface hardness to resist edge wear; this translates into longer intervals between regrinds and fewer tool changes. The mixed‑geometry flutes include a centre cutting feature, enabling plunge operations and reducing the need for secondary operations, which improves overall cycle efficiency.

Secure clamping and precise profile for repeatable finishes

A Weldon shank with drive flat ensures the tool remains firmly seated in the holder during heavy cuts, lowering the risk of slippage and maintaining concentricity. The tool’s relief‑ground cord profile and 45° protective chamfer support smoother entry and exit from the cut, producing a more uniform surface finish on each workpiece. These attributes help sustain dimensional stability across a production run, which is especially valuable in batch work or repair tasks.

Suitable materials and application guidance

The cutter is specified for use on a range of materials: very good suitability for steel and cast iron, and limited suitability for non‑ferrous metals, stainless steels and special alloys. For uncoated tools the practical limit is around 800 N/mm²; with the TiCN coating applied, the tool can be used up to approximately 1,000 N/mm². For users new to these designations: HSS‑Co5 denotes high‑speed steel with 5% cobalt, improving heat resistance, while TiCN adds a thin, hard layer that reduces adhesive wear and raises cutting speeds in many steels.

Efficient short‑length design reduces setup complexity

The compact cutting length (42 mm) and short overall profile reduce tool overhang, which in turn diminishes deflection and vibration during milling. This short design is beneficial for small machining centres, compact toolholders and situations where rigidity is limited. The right‑hand cutting orientation and multi‑edge layout distribute cutting forces across several flutes, permitting higher feed per tooth and improved surface integrity without sacrificing tool life.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge milling?
Yes. The centre cutting geometry allows plunge operations; the End mill DIN 844 Type NR, Ø16 mm (SKU 2000866446NW) can be used for limited plunging as well as peripheral milling.

Which materials deliver the best tool life with this cutter?
The cutter performs best in steels and cast iron; with the HSS‑Co5 substrate and TiCN coating the longevity is maximised when machining materials up to ~1,000 N/mm².

Can the tool be used in small machining centres with compact toolholders?
Yes. Its short cutting length and compact design reduce overhang and deflection, making the tool suitable for rigid, space‑restricted setups.

What clamping system is required for safe operation?
A secure chuck or collet that supports a Weldon shank with drive flat is recommended to prevent slippage and to maintain concentricity during heavy cuts.

Is the coating suitable for stainless steel work?
The TiCN coating improves wear resistance, but suitability for stainless steel is limited; expect better results in carbon steels and cast iron.
