18mm Solid Carbide End Mill HSS-Co5 TiCN Coated 42mm Cutting Length DIN 844 - TECWERK

Take advantage of a high-performance combination of HSS‑Co substrate and TiCN coating for extended tool life and higher cutting capability, paired with a short multi‑flute geometry for smooth material removal; order the end mill directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants if additional specifications are required.

End mill DIN 844 NR, 18 mm, HSS‑Co5, TiCN – TECWERK

A TECWERK end mill DIN 844 NR designed for short multi‑flute milling in steel and cast iron, combining a Weldon shank with a relief‑ground helical profile for reliable production work

• HSS‑Co5 substrate with TiCN coating
• 18 mm diameter, 42 mm effective cutting length
• Weldon shank, 16 mm shank diameter

High cutting performance for medium‑strength steels and cast iron

This cutter uses a high‑speed steel cobalt (HSS‑Co) base alloy and a TiCN coating to deliver increased wear resistance and thermal stability. The four‑flute geometry together with a centre‑cutting design enables efficient axial engagement and reduced vibration, which translates into consistent surface finish and longer tool life when machining steels up to approx. 1000 N/mm² with the coated tool. The DIN 844 standard ensures predictable tool dimensions and repeatable performance in serial production.

Secure clamping and stable tool geometry for precision operations

A Weldon shank with a 16 mm diameter provides positive torque transfer and simple mounting in standard tool holders, while the overall length of 92 mm and 42 mm effective length balance accessibility with rigidity for short‑reach milling tasks. The tool’s relief‑ground helical profile and 45° chamfer offer controlled chip formation and reduced cutting forces, making the cutter well suited to intermittent cuts and pocketing operations where process stability is essential.

Process economy through material suitability and coating advantages

The combination of substrate and coating yields a pragmatic balance of performance and cost: the uncoated substrate works well up to around 800 N/mm², while the TiCN layer extends capability and wear resistance for tougher jobs. The tool is described as very good for steel and cast iron and conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals, special alloys and stainless steels; this supports versatile shop use without excessive tool inventories. Short cutter length and multi‑flute design also reduce machining time per part, improving throughput and lowering total production cost.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (DIN 844 NR, SKU 2000866448NW) is rated very good for steel and cast iron and conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals, stainless steel and certain special alloys.

How does the TiCN coating affect cutting capability?
The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance; with the coated tool the cutter can handle higher tensile strengths (up to around 1000 N/mm²) compared with the uncoated substrate.

What clamping system is required for this cutter?
The cutter features a Weldon shank with a 16 mm diameter and a drive flat, making it compatible with standard Weldon holders and firmly transmitting torque in production setups.

Is this tool suitable for plunge milling or centre cutting?
Yes. The tool’s centre‑cutting geometry enables limited plunge capability, which is beneficial for pocket entries and some plunging operations.

Which production advantages does the short multi‑flute design offer?
The short multi‑flute configuration reduces deflection, improves surface finish in short‑reach applications, and provides efficient chip evacuation for stable milling cycles.
