TECWERK End mill DIN 844 Type NR — 6 mm, HSS‑Co5, Weldon shank

TECWERK End mill DIN 844 Type NR is a short, multi‑edge HSS‑Co5 cutter designed for general milling and plunge operations in steels and cast iron

• Short 19 mm cutting length for compact setups
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• HSS‑Co5 high‑cobalt grade for durability
• Centre‑cutting for safe plunge milling
• Very good suitability for steel and cast iron

Reliable performance from a high‑cobalt substrate

The HSS‑Co5 composition provides a blend of toughness and wear resistance that suits short, demanding jobs where tool life and edge integrity matter. The multi‑edge geometry and centre‑cutting capability enable safe plunging and reduced cycle complexity, while the short design minimises overhang and deflection. This translates into consistent part quality and fewer tool changes in daily production, making the cutter a practical choice for workpieces with low to medium tensile strength.

Secure clamping and repeatable positioning

A Weldon shank with drive flat ensures positive torque transmission and stable seating in standard holders. The cylindrical shank with a dedicated drive face reduces the risk of slippage under intermittent loads and helps maintain concentricity during repeated insertions. For workshop setups where repeatability is critical, the combination of shank geometry and short cutting length contributes to lower run‑out and improved surface finish with each pass.

Designed for common workshop materials and practical machining

The tool is specified for machining materials up to approximately 800 N/mm² in uncoated condition and up to 1000 N/mm² when using coated variants of similar geometry. It is very well suited to steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals are only conditionally applicable. The 45° protective chamfer strengthens the cutting edge against chipping during entry, and the relief‑ground flute profile aids chip formation and evacuation on interrupted cuts. As a right‑hand cutting tool with multiple cutting edges, it combines efficient material removal with stable tool life for routine milling tasks.

Practical advantages for workshop efficiency

Shorter cutting length and robust substrate reduce set‑up time and lower the likelihood of tool breakage in compact fixtures. The centre‑cutting geometry removes the need for pre‑drilled starts in many operations, improving throughput on small to medium batches. For production environments seeking a balance of cost‑efficiency and dependable performance, this cutter supports straightforward integration into existing tool inventories and standard toolholding systems.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited to?
The TECWERK end mill is very well suited for steel and cast iron, and only conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals according to the indicated material guidance.

Can this cutter be used for plunge milling?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows safe plunge operations without a pre‑drilled start when used within the specified material hardness range.

What does HSS‑Co5 mean for tool life?
HSS‑Co5 denotes a high‑speed steel with approximately 5% cobalt; this composition improves red‑hardness and wear resistance, supporting longer life under elevated cutting temperatures compared with standard HSS.
