TECWERK end mill — HSS‑Co5, 16 mm diameter, Weldon shank

TECWERK end mill designed for short, high‑precision slotting and peripheral milling in steels and cast components; compliant with DIN 844 and supplied as a Type HR short four‑flute cutter.

• HSS‑Co5 high‑speed steel core
• Weldon shank for secure clamping
• DIN 844 Type HR short design
• Effective length 42 mm, 4 flutes

Durable high‑speed cobalt core for consistent metal removal

The HSS‑Co5 alloy delivers improved red hardness and wear resistance compared with conventional high‑speed steel, which extends tool life under elevated temperatures. Combined with the DIN 844 specification and a four‑cut geometry, the cutter offers steady chip evacuation and balanced cutting forces, reducing vibration during intermittent and continuous cuts. The tool’s 42 mm effective length keeps overhang short for greater stiffness, enabling repeatable dimensional accuracy and stable surface finish in batch production.

Material suitability that supports workshop versatility

As supplied uncoated, the cutter is rated for workpiece strengths of around 800 N/mm², making it particularly well suited to ordinary and alloyed steels as well as cast iron, where material removal rates and tool life are optimised. For applications demanding higher hardness resistance, coated variants of similar geometry typically extend capability up to 1200 N/mm²; however, the delivered tool should be selected according to the intended feed and speed strategy. Non‑ferrous metals are conditionally suitable, permitting selective use where chatter and built‑up edge are controlled.

Secure mounting and practical features for efficient production

The Weldon shank with cylindrical shaft and drive flat provides reliable clamp engagement in straight holders and collet chucks, limiting slippage under torque. The short Type HR construction and the 45° protection chamfer reduce the risk of edge damage at the cutter shoulder, while the centre cutting geometry allows limited plunge work in addition to peripheral milling. These attributes contribute to reduced set‑up time, reliable repeatability and predictable tool behaviour across consecutive operations, supporting lean workshop processes.

FAQ

What materials are best suited to this cutter?
The TECWERK end mill (HSS‑Co5, SKU 2000866500NW) is optimised for steels and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals are conditionally suitable depending on machining strategy.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts?
Yes — the centre‑cutting geometry allows limited plunge operations, though the short Type HR design is primarily intended for peripheral and slot milling.

How does the Weldon shank benefit clamping?
The Weldon shank provides a drive flat for secure clamping in holders and reduces the risk of rotation under torque, improving repeatability with the TECWERK cutter.

Is this tool supplied with a coating?
The delivered tool is uncoated (material HSS‑Co5). Coated versions with similar geometry are commonly used to increase hardness resistance up to around 1200 N/mm².

What does DIN 844 indicate for this cutter?
DIN 844 denotes dimensional and design norms for short shank cutters; it ensures consistent geometry and interchangeability within the specified Type HR category.
