Solid carbide end mill DIN 6527K Type N, Ø18 mm, TiAlN (TECWERK)

The Solid carbide end mill DIN 6527K Type N is a short, four-flute HPC cutter designed for vibration-reduced roughing and finishing across steels and non-ferrous alloys

• Solid carbide, fine-grain VHM
• TiAlN coating for high-temperature stability
• 45° chamfer and centre-cutting geometry
• Short design for low-vibration HPC machining

Faster metal removal with controlled chip flow

The cutter’s 4-flute geometry and unequal helix pitch generate a stable cutting action that reduces axial forces and distributes cutting loads. This design improves material removal rates during high-productivity machining while maintaining surface quality, so machining cycles become shorter without sacrificing finish. The short construction and neck relief contribute to a vibration-reduced process, which means fewer rejects and more predictable cycle times in series production.

Coating that withstands heat and extends life

A TiAlN coating on the fine-grain VHM substrate increases thermal resistance and forms a protective oxide layer during cutting; the result is reduced flank wear at elevated temperatures. For high cutting speeds and sustained HPC applications, this combination delays tool change intervals and supports consistent part accuracy. The 45° chamfer at the cutter tip and centre-cutting capability allow plunge starts and effective engagement when programming toolpaths for both roughing and finishing.

Broad material suitability for fewer tool changes

Thanks to its optimised geometry and coating, the cutter is suitable for a wide spectrum of materials — from standard steel and various cast irons to Cr–Ni alloys and non-ferrous metals, including silicon-containing aluminium and abrasive mixes. The tool’s universality minimises the need for multiple specialised cutters, simplifying tooling logistics and reducing machine downtime from tool swaps in diverse production batches.

Secure clamping and standardisation for reliable handling

The tool features a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 shank tolerance and a short overall length that aids rigid clamping in common toolholders. Conformity to DIN 6527 ensures standardised mounting and interchangeability across holders, while the short body and protected chamfer help to prevent accidental chipping during handling and set-up. Together these properties support repeatable machining results and ease of integration into established production routines.
