End mill DIN 844 Type NR Ø6 mm, HSS‑Co5, Weldon shank – TECWERK

The End mill DIN 844 Type NR Ø6 mm HSS‑Co5 is a short, three‑flute, centre‑cutting cutter designed for accurate milling of steels, cast parts and selected non‑ferrous materials in compact setups.

• HSS‑Co5 high‑alloy cutting material suitable for steels
• DIN 844 short Type NR geometry for rigid setups
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• Centre‑cutting three‑flute design for axial entry

High‑performance material for demanding shop work

The HSS‑Co5 composition delivers a balance of toughness and red‑hardness, making this cutter well suited to interrupted cuts and harder operating conditions. With an uncoated rating for components up to ≈800 N/mm², the tool supports frequent use in maintenance and small‑batch production where tool life and predictability matter. The short geometry reduces overhang, increasing rigidity and helping to maintain dimensional accuracy on shoulders and small step features.

Consistent chip control and edge protection for improved surface finish

A three‑flute, centre‑cutting geometry with a relieved flute profile and a 45° protective chamfer promotes controlled chip evacuation and stable cutting forces. The tool’s effective length 19 mm and a cutting length of 3 mm concentrate cutting action where it is needed, reducing chatter and helping to achieve repeatable surface quality. The moderate relief (freischliff 5.5 mm) supports cleaner entry and exit, which is particularly valuable when milling castings or interrupted surfaces.

Secure clamping and repeatable set‑ups reduce downtime

The Weldon shank with drive flat provides positive torque transmission and simple tool indexing in standard holders, speeding changeovers and reducing the risk of slippage during heavy engagement. Compliance with DIN 844 ensures familiar geometry for toolroom planners and purchasing departments, while the short multi‑flute format improves rigidity for compact fixturing and tight‑tolerance operations.

Practical suitability and workshop recommendations

Right‑hand cutting and the short NR type make this cutter a dependable choice for profile milling, small slotting and shoulder operations in workshops and maintenance bays. Materials suitability indicates very good performance on steel and cast iron, with conditional use on non‑ferrous metals; this matches many common daily tasks in tooling, repair and small‑series production.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for shoulder milling in steel?
The TECWERK end mill (DIN 844 Type NR, Ø6 mm) is designed for rigid, short‑reach shoulder milling and is rated very good for steel machining up to approximately 800 N/mm² with an uncoated tool.

Can the tool be used for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals?
The cutter is conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals; the three‑flute geometry offers good chip control, but machining parameters should be adapted to the specific alloy and rigidity of the set‑up.

What clamping option is recommended for this shank?
Use a Weldon‑compatible holder or collet block that accepts a drive flat; the Weldon shank provides secure torque transmission and repeatable seating for the cutter.

Does the tool allow plunge cutting?
As a centre‑cutting three‑flute end mill, it permits axial entry and plunge cutting; attention to machine rigidity and feed rates is advised to maintain tool life.

What standard does the geometry follow and why does that matter?
The geometry conforms to DIN 844, which standardises short Type NR end mills for predictable performance, easy replacement and compatibility with common tool‑holding practice.
