18mm Solid Carbide End Mill TiAlN Coated 50mm Effective Length, DIN 6527 HB - TECWERK

The combination of VHM solid‑carbide construction, TiAlN coating and a long 50 mm effective length delivers reliable performance for both aggressive roughing and fine finishing. Order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact our consultants for tailored machining advice.

TECWERK Solid Carbide End Mill DIN 6527 L – Ø18 mm, TiAlN‑coated

The TECWERK solid carbide end mill DIN 6527 L is a long, four‑flute milling tool designed for high‑performance roughing and finishing across steels, cast irons and non‑ferrous alloys.

• VHM universal fine‑grain for consistent strength
• TiAlN coating for elevated heat resistance
• Long 50 mm effective length for deep milling
• Four flutes with 45° protective chamfer

Consistent performance across a wide range of materials

The tool is built from VHM solid carbide and balances toughness with wear resistance, enabling stable cutting in steel, stainless steel, cast iron and many non‑ferrous alloys. The combination of a refined substrate and TiAlN coating reduces adhesion and increases resistance to high cutting temperatures, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes. For production environments this means higher uptime and greater process reliability when carrying out both roughing and finishing passes.

Geometry and coating that improve tool life and component quality

A four‑flute geometry with an unequal helix and centre cut provides balanced chip evacuation while maintaining cutting stability. The 45° protective chamfer and a specialised neck relief reduce the risk of chipping at the entry edge, supporting vibration‑reduced machining even at greater overhangs. The TiAlN coating adds thermal protection and preserves the cutting edge when working at elevated speeds or where heat generation is significant, making the cutter especially suitable for HPC applications and abrasive materials.

Shank precision and practical integration with CNC workflows

The tool features a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance, offering secure clamping and concentricity for modern toolholders. The Ø18 mm shank and long overall design allow deeper pocketing and slotting without frequent tool changes, improving cycle time efficiency. The cutter is right‑hand cutting and prepared for both roughing and fine passes, which simplifies programme setup and reduces trial cuts in production, enabling consistent part quality and predictable tool performance.
