End mill DIN 844 Type HR Ø10 mm — HSS‑Co5, Weldon shank (TECWERK)

The End mill DIN 844 Type HR Ø10 mm is a short, four‑flute HSS‑Co5 cutter with a Weldon shank, engineered for milling steels and cast irons in demanding workshop environments

• DIN 844 Type HR short 4‑flute design
• Ø10 mm cutting diameter
• Effective cutting length 30 mm
• Weldon shank with drive flat

Stable short‑length milling for tougher materials

The short, rigid geometry of this tool emphasises stability and dimensional control during interrupted cuts and pocketing. With a 4‑flute layout and a centre‑cutting tip, the cutter offers reliable engagement for finishing passes and limited plunge operations. The compact overall length reduces deflection compared with longer end mills, so concentricity and surface finish are improved when working on components with demanding tolerances.

Heat resistance and suitability for common shop metals

Made from HSS‑Co5, the cutting material provides elevated red hardness and wear resistance compared with standard HSS, which supports sustained cutting in medium‑strength steels. The tool is intended for milling workpieces up to around 800 N/mm² when used uncoated and can be applied in higher‑strength materials when an appropriate coating is fitted. Suitability is particularly high for steel and cast iron, while non‑ferrous metals are a conditional match depending on cutting parameters.

Secure clamping and handling for repeatable setups

The Weldon shank with drive flat ensures axial torque is reliably transmitted in collets or Weldon holders, reducing slippage under load. A shank diameter of 10 mm matching the cutting diameter simplifies tooling selection and clamping. The compact effective cutting length of 30 mm combined with an overall length of 72 mm supports short‑reach machining where rigidity and quick tool changes are priorities in a production‑minded workshop.

Application guidance for efficient machining

The right‑hand cutting direction and centre‑cutting capability make the tool suitable for slotting, pocketing and light plunge cuts in component manufacturing. The honed geometry and protective chamfer help to reduce chipping at the entry, promoting predictable tool life in normal shop conditions. For best results, choose cutting parameters that favour conservative axial engagement and adjust feeds where material hardness approaches the upper suitability range.

FAQ

What materials is this end mill best suited for?
The TECWERK end mill (End mill DIN 844 Type HR Ø10 mm, SKU 2000866494NW) is very well suited for steel and cast iron and is conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals depending on the machining parameters.

Can this cutter be used for plunge cutting?
Yes. The centre‑cutting design of the cutter allows controlled plunge machining; the short, rigid geometry supports limited plunge operations for slotting and pocket entry.

How does the HSS‑Co5 composition affect tool life?
The HSS‑Co5 grade provides improved red hardness and wear resistance compared with standard HSS, which typically results in better performance and longer tool life when machining medium‑strength steels.

Is the Weldon shank compatible with standard holders?
The Weldon shank with drive flat is compatible with Weldon‑style toolholders and collet systems designed for straight shanks; it secures torque transmission and reduces slippage during machining.

What cutting conditions are recommended for high‑strength steels?
For materials approaching the upper hardness range, apply conservative axial depths and reduced feed per tooth; the specification notes suitability up to ~800 N/mm² uncoated and higher with appropriate coatings.
