16mm Cylindrical Shank End Mill HSS-Co5 TiCN Coating, 42mm Cutting Length, DIN 844 - TECWERK

Benefit from a robust combination of precision geometry, HSS‑Co5 substrate and a TiCN surface that extends service life while enabling machining of higher‑strength materials; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the specialist team for tailored recommendations.

End mill DIN 844 Type HR – D16 mm, HSS‑Co5 with TiCN, Weldon shank

A DIN 844 Type HR end mill designed for short, rigid milling operations and finishing of steels, castings and medium‑strength alloys.

• HSS‑Co5 for improved wear resistance
• TiCN coating for higher surface hardness
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping
• Short four‑flute design for precise finishing

Consistent cutting performance through hardened substrate and coating

The short, rigid geometry of this cutter combines a HSS‑Co5 substrate with a TiCN coating to deliver greater wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted cuts. Built to DIN 844 Type HR standards, the tool’s construction reduces flank wear and preserves cutting edge integrity, resulting in fewer tool changes and steadier cycle times. With the coating applied, the cutter is capable of machining materials at higher tensile strengths — up to approx. 1,200 N/mm² with a coated tool — providing a clear productivity advantage in mixed production runs.

Secure clamping and refined flute geometry for reliable surface finish

The tool’s Weldon shank with drive flat ensures a positive connection in the toolholder, increasing torsional safety when machining with higher axial loads. The four‑flute arrangement and centre‑cutting tip offer balanced chip load distribution and enable plunge capability where required. The short overall length and the 45° protective chamfer reduce chatter and minimise the risk of corner breakage, supporting a consistent surface finish on each workpiece. These features together promote repeatable results across batches.

Clear guidance on material suitability and application range

This cutter is very well suited to steel and cast iron, while suitability for non‑ferrous metals and special alloys is conditional and depends on machining parameters. With the TiCN coating and the HSS‑Co alloy, the cutter performs best on workpiece tensile strengths up to approx. 1,200 N/mm² when coated, and around 800 N/mm² when used uncoated. For general workshop practice, this means the tool handles typical construction steels and many cast components reliably; selection for high‑alloy or highly abrasive materials should follow a brief technical assessment.

Compact design for rigidity, tool life and workshop efficiency

A short design with an effective cutting length of 42 mm and a 16 mm shank enhances stiffness at the cutting edge and reduces deflection compared with longer cutters. The compact geometry, combined with the TiCN surface, supports longer intervals between regrinds and consistent dimensional accuracy. The relieved, finely ground flute profile improves chip evacuation under moderate feeds, helping maintain machine uptime and reducing secondary finishing steps in many production scenarios.

FAQ

What workpiece materials are best suited to this end mill?
The end mill is very well suited to steel and cast iron; with the TiCN‑coated HSS‑Co5 cutter, materials with tensile strength up to about 1,200 N/mm² can be machined effectively.

Is this cutter suitable for plunge cutting and slotting operations?
Yes — the centre‑cutting geometry and four‑flute design permit limited plunge moves and slotting under appropriate cutting parameters; tool life will depend on feed, depth of cut and material.

What benefits does the TiCN coating provide compared with an uncoated tool?
The TiCN layer increases surface hardness and resistance to abrasive wear, extending tool life and enabling machining of higher‑strength materials compared with the uncoated HSS‑Co substrate.

How does the Weldon shank influence clamping reliability?
The Weldon shank with drive flat provides a positive mechanical drive in the holder, reducing the risk of slippage and improving torque transmission during heavy cuts.

Which standards and specifications define the cutter geometry?
The cutter conforms to DIN 844 Type HR geometry and is manufactured as a short, four‑flute milling cutter with a 45° protective chamfer and a relief‑ground flute profile.
