Combining solid carbide construction, TiAlN surface treatment and a short four‑flute geometry, the cutter delivers high‑speed roughing and reliable finishing across a wide range of alloys; order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact the technical consultants for process optimisation.

TECWERK Solid Carbide End Mill DIN 6527K — 12 mm, TiAlN, 4‑flute (short)

The TECWERK solid carbide end mill is a short 4‑flute, high‑performance cutter designed for high‑speed machining (HPC) in steels, cast materials and non‑ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide, fine‑grain substrate
• TiAlN coating for elevated heat resistance
• 4 flutes for efficient material removal
• Short design for rigid, vibration‑free milling

High‑speed roughing with controlled finishing

The combination of a solid carbide fine‑grain body and a hard TiAlN coating enables sustained performance under elevated temperatures and high metal removal rates. The tool’s HPC geometry is engineered to remove material quickly while preserving the cutting edge for subsequent finishing passes. Because the insert length is optimised and the cutter is centre‑cutting, plunge operations and axial engagement are possible without compromising stability, which supports efficient cycle times and predictable tool life.

Wide material compatibility for mixed production runs

Designed with a newly developed flute geometry and an unequal helix pitch, the cutter reduces harmonic vibration and is therefore suitable for a large spectrum of materials: steel, stainless steel (INOX), cast iron, aluminium alloys with silicon, non‑ferrous metals and many special alloys. The combination of geometry and coating provides very good suitability for both hard and abrasive materials, making the tool a versatile choice where part families vary and rapid material changeover is required.

Precision shank and geometry for process stability

A cylindrical shank manufactured to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance ensures concentric clamping and repeatable positioning in holders and chucks. The tool’s key dimensions — a 12 mm shank and a 26 mm effective cutting length within a 73 mm overall length — balance accessibility and rigidity for shorter overhangs. The neck relief and a protective 45° chamfer on the cutting edge minimise burr formation and protect the cutting edge during entry, improving surface quality and reducing secondary operations.

Practical machining guidance for reliable results

The cutter is right‑hand cutting, four‑edged and optimised for both roughing and finishing cycles. A small 0.2 mm protection chamfer at the cutting edge and an effective flute design help maintain chip evacuation under continuous cutting. For high‑speed applications, the TiAlN coating increases oxidation resistance and allows higher surface speeds compared with uncoated grades; this aids consistent finishes and longer intervals between tool changes. For detailed suggestions on feeds, speeds and coolant strategies, technical consultation is available to align the cutting data with specific machines and workpiece setups.

FAQ

What materials can this cutter machine reliably?
The TECWERK solid carbide end mill is very well suited to steel, cast iron, stainless steel, non‑ferrous metals and aluminium alloys with silicon, and it performs well on many special alloys and abrasive materials.

Is this tool suitable for plunge cutting or centre cutting operations?
Yes. The cutter is centre‑cutting and designed for plunge operations as well as conventional axial milling, thanks to its geometry and solid carbide construction.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining?
The TiAlN coating raises heat resistance and wear performance under high surface speeds, increasing edge life during high‑speed cutting typical of HPC applications with the TECWERK end mill SKU 2000866487NW.

What design features reduce vibration and chatter?
The unequal helix pitch and short overhang combine to reduce harmonic excitation, while neck relief and rigid shank mounting further enhance vibration‑free milling and surface finish quality.

Which shank standard and tolerance does the tool use?
The cutter features a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB and is manufactured to an h6 tolerance to ensure consistent concentric clamping and precision in holders.
