Take advantage of the combination of TiAlN coating, fine-grain solid carbide construction and a four-flute geometry for high material removal and long tool life; order the part directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the specialists if technical clarification is required.

Solid carbide end mill DIN 6527K Type N, 18 mm — VHM TiAlN, 4-flute (TECWERK)

The solid carbide end mill DIN 6527K Type N is a short, high-performance cutter designed for high-speed roughing and finishing in steels, cast materials and a range of non-ferrous alloys.

Solid carbide, fine-grain VHM core
TiAlN coating for elevated temperature resistance
Four-flute geometry for high material removal
Cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB

Boost to productivity without sacrificing surface quality

The short, four-flute configuration and the optimised helix create a cutter that delivers high metal removal rates while maintaining a consistent surface finish. The centre-cutting geometry enables plunging operations and improved engagement control, which reduces machining cycles and can shorten job times in both roughing and semi-finishing passes. This results in a measurable efficiency gain on series work and shorter set-up times on small to medium batches.

Extended tool life through thermal and wear resistance

Thanks to the TiAlN coating and the fine-grain solid carbide substrate, the tool provides superior resistance to heat and abrasive wear during high-performance cutting (HPC). The protective film reduces adhesion of built-up edge and delays oxidation at elevated temperatures, leading to fewer tool changes and more predictable life cycles. For operations that demand continuity under thermal load, this combination supports consistent component tolerances and reduces unplanned downtime.

Versatile application range and vibration control

The cutter’s geometry, with unequal helix pitch and a neck relief, is engineered for vibration-reduced machining, making it suitable for a wide range of materials from steel and stainless steels to aluminium alloys with silicon content and various cast irons. The short design and robust shank provide rigidity for interrupted cuts and tough materials, while the configuration supports both roughing and finishing tasks with stable performance.

Practical handling and machining security

A cylindrical shank manufactured to h6 tolerance and the compact overall length facilitate reliable clamping and concentricity in standard toolholders. The 45° protective chamfer and 0.2 mm safeguard on the cutting edge reduce chipping risk during engagement. Together these design choices support repeatable setups and minimise rework, which is especially valuable in production environments seeking consistent part quality.
