6mm Full Radius Cutter 14mm Effective Length TiCN Coated HSS-Co8, Extra Short Weldon Shank - TECWERK

Take advantage of the HSS‑Co8 base material together with a TiCN coating for extended wear resistance and stable surface finish in short‑reach milling tasks; the compact Weldon shank and extra‑short geometry reduce overhang for improved rigidity. Order the cutter through Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team for application advice.

TECWERK corner‑radius end mill — 6 mm, HSS‑Co8, TiCN, Weldon, 2 flutes

The TECWERK corner‑radius end mill is designed for short‑reach milling of steels and castings, combining a robust cobalt‑alloy high‑speed steel body with a TiCN coating for longevity in production environments.

• HSS‑Co8 base material for high toughness
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Extra‑short Weldon shank for rigid setup
• Centre‑cutting, right‑hand spiral flutes

Stable tool life and consistent results in steel machining

The cutter is built from HSS‑Co8, a cobalt‑enriched high‑speed steel chosen for its toughness and heat resistance; combined with the TiCN surface layer, this provides higher wear resistance and longer tool life compared with uncoated alternatives. For components in the workshop that demand repeatable finish and dimensional stability, the coating reduces built‑up edge and improves surface quality, while the substrate steel tolerates intermittent overload and elevated cutting temperatures. This makes the tool particularly suitable for machining steels up to 1200 N/mm², offering a reliable balance between abrasion resistance and edge stability.

Short overhang and centre‑cutting geometry for chatter reduction

The extra‑short overall length and Weldon shank minimise unsupported overhang, improving rigidity during high‑precision milling. With just 2 flutes and a centre‑cutting geometry, the tool enables axial plunging and efficient chip evacuation in short depths of cut; the 14 mm effective cutting length is optimised for pocketing and slotting where access is limited. The compact design reduces vibration, so cycle times can be maintained without sacrificing surface finish — a pragmatic solution where machine rigidity and fixture stability are decisive for process reliability.

Versatile application across castings, steel and mixed alloys

With a 3 mm corner radius the cutter produces rounded internal corners that reduce stress concentration and increase component life in service. The tool performs very well on steel and cast materials, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals, stainless steels and special alloys; machining strategy and cutting data should be selected accordingly. Right‑hand cutting and the cylindrical shank with drive flat (Weldon) ensure secure clamping in standard toolholders, supporting consistent concentricity and dimensional repeatability across batches. For workshops seeking a durable short‑reach cutter that balances surface finish, rigidity and tool life, this radius cutter represents a practical investment.

FAQ

Which materials are best machined with this corner‑radius end mill?
The TECWERK corner‑radius end mill is optimised for steel and castings (very good suitability) and can be used conditionally on non‑ferrous metals, stainless steel and certain special alloys with adapted cutting data.

Does the TiCN coating significantly extend tool life?
Yes — the TiCN coating on this radius cutter reduces abrasive wear and built‑up edge, which prolongs life compared with uncoated HSS‑Co tools under comparable cutting conditions.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts due to its geometry?
The centre‑cutting configuration allows axial plunging; the 2‑flute design and 14 mm effective length support short‑reach plunge and pocketing operations with good chip evacuation.

What clamping is required for best performance?
Secure clamping of the Weldon shank (cylindrical shank with drive flat) in a rigid toolholder is recommended to exploit the extra‑short geometry and maintain concentricity and repeatability.

What component feature does the 3 mm radius provide?
A 3 mm corner radius reduces stress concentration in internal corners and improves fatigue resistance, while also aiding a more durable cutting edge when performing fillet milling.
