18mm Precision End Mill Solid Carbide TiAlN-Coated 50mm Cutting Length, DIN 6527 - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of solid carbide construction, a TiAlN surface coating and a long 50 mm cutting length to maintain high material removal rates with consistent tool life; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application-specific recommendations.

TECWERK solid carbide end mill DIN 6527L – Ø 18 mm, TiAlN-coated

The TECWERK solid carbide end mill is a long, four-flute, centre-cutting tool designed for high-performance roughing and finishing across steels, castings and non-ferrous alloys.

*Solid carbide VHM with TiAlN coating
*50 mm cutting length for deeper passes
*Centre-cutting 4-flute design for plunge milling
*Unequal pitch and neck relief reduce vibrations

High-performance removal with predictable durability

This long solid carbide cutter combines a fine-grain VHM body with a TiAlN coating to resist heat and abrasive wear during high-speed cuts. The combination of coating and carbide grade supports HPC (high performance cutting) strategies, enabling higher feed rates and longer tool life compared with uncoated alternatives. Because the tool is centre cutting, it can be used for controlled plunging as well as conventional side milling, reducing process steps for applications that require pocketing or ramping.

Versatile material range for mixed-production shops

Engineered for universal use, the cutter is very well suited to steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many special alloys, including abrasive materials and aluminium with silicon content. This breadth of compatibility simplifies tooling lists: a single long tool can cover roughing and finishing tasks across mixed batches, helping maintain throughput and reduce changeovers on the shop floor.

Geometry engineered to minimise chatter and improve surface finish

The tool’s unequal pitch and dedicated neck relief deliver a quieter cut and reduced vibration, which supports stable machining at higher removal rates. The 4-flute layout balances chip evacuation and tool strength for both roughing and finishing passes. A small protective chamfer (0.2 mm) and a 45° protection angle at the cutting edge improve edge robustness during entry, which contributes to consistent surface quality across repeated cycles.

Precise mounting and standards for reliable results

A cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance ensures concentric clamping and repeatable runout when used with precision holders. The tool conforms to DIN 6527 L, which aids specification in procurement and tool management systems. With an overall length of 100 mm and a 50 mm effective cutting length, the design provides access to deeper features while maintaining stiffness through the neck relief and shank geometry.

FAQ

What materials can this end mill process effectively?
The TECWERK solid carbide end mill is described as very well suited for steel, stainless steels (INOX), cast iron, non-ferrous metals and many special alloys, making it a flexible tool for mixed-production environments.

Is the tool suitable for plunging operations?
Yes, the cutter is centre cutting, which allows controlled plunging as well as conventional side milling for pocketing and ramping tasks.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining?
The TiAlN coating increases thermal resistance and wear protection on the tool, which supports higher cutting speeds and prolonged tool life under demanding conditions.

What standards ensure compatible clamping and repeatable runout?
The tool features a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance and conforms to DIN 6527 L, aiding consistent clamping and specification across tool holders.

Does the geometry help reduce vibration?
Yes, unequal pitch combined with neck relief is designed to reduce chatter and improve surface finish during both roughing and finishing operations.
