TECWERK End Mill DIN 844 Type HR, 6 mm – HSS‑Co5, TiCN‑coated

The TECWERK End Mill DIN 844 Type HR D.6mm is a long, four‑flute HSS‑Co milling cutter designed for precision finishing and general milling of steel and cast iron in workshop and production environments

• HSS‑Co5 body with TiCN coating
• Four‑flute geometry for smooth chip removal
• Weldon shank with drive flat
• Suited to steel up to ~1200 N/mm²

Longer tool life and steady performance under load

The TiCN finish on the HSS‑Co5 substrate increases surface hardness and reduces friction, which results in longer tool life and fewer tool changes on the shop floor. In practice, the coating lowers build‑up and improves heat resistance during elevated cutting speeds; this translates into higher uptime and a more predictable machining cycle. The cutter’s solid composition and DIN‑compliant design support repeatable results in short to medium production runs.

Secure clamping and runout stability for precision work

A Weldon shank with drive flat provides positive drive and improved concentricity in standard tool holders, reducing slippage during interrupted cuts. The cylindrical shank with drive flat and the cutter’s adherence to DIN 844 ensure compatibility with common toolholders and predictable runout behaviour. For tools with a 6 mm shank and the given geometry, this mechanical reliability contributes directly to dimensional consistency and surface finish quality.

Geometry optimised for steel and cast iron machining

The long profile and four‑flute configuration produce a favourable balance between cutting edge engagement and chip evacuation. The tool is centre‑cutting with a 45° protective chamfer, allowing plunge starts and improved entry behaviour. A relief‑ground fine profile minimises rubbing and reduces axial cutting forces, which benefits the machining of harder materials. Suitability ratings indicate very good performance on steel and cast iron, with conditional use on non‑ferrous metals, stainless alloys and special alloys where appropriate feeds and speeds are applied.

Practical benefits for production and workshop use

Using this cutter in a consistent, documented tool setup reduces process variability and supports throughput targets on both single‑part and small‑batch production. The combination of HSS‑Co5 toughness and TiCN low friction improves tool life in interrupted or semi‑finishing operations, while the Weldon shank secures the tool in automatic tool changes. For buyers seeking a balance between cost, robustness and machining quality, this specification supports stable machining routines without demanding specialised holders or unusually complex parameters

FAQ

What materials is this cutter best suited to? This TECWERK end mill performs very well on steel and cast iron; it is conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals, stainless and special alloys when appropriate cutting parameters are applied.

Is the cutter suitable for plunge milling? Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry and the 45° chamfer allow plunge starts; the tool’s profile supports controlled entry during axial engagement.

Which shank system is required for secure clamping? The cutter features a Weldon shank with a drive flat; compatible Weldon‑type holders or collet systems with the matching flat ensure secure clamping and reduced slippage.

How does the TiCN coating improve performance? The TiCN coating lowers friction and increases surface hardness, which reduces build‑up and thermal wear; this leads to prolonged tool life and more consistent cutting conditions.

Does the cutter comply with industrial standards? The tool is manufactured to DIN 844 Type HR specifications, ensuring dimensional and performance consistency for industrial applications.
