8mm Full Radius Cutter 17mm Effective Length TiCN Coated HSS-Co, Extra Short 2-Flute Weldon Shank - TECWERK

Take advantage of the tool's combination of HSS‑Co8 base material, TiCN coating and a compact Weldon shank for efficient, repeatable short-length milling in steel and cast iron; order the TECWERK full-radius end mill directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their technical advisors if clarification is required.

TECWERK full-radius end mill D 8 mm – HSS‑Co8, TiCN-coated, Weldon shank

A full-radius end mill engineered for short, high-precision shoulder and plunge milling across steel and cast iron applications.

• HSS‑Co8 base material
• TiCN coating for high wear resistance
• Centre cutting for plunge milling
• Weldon shank with drive flat, extra-short

High-performance cutting geometry for short-cycle operations

The cutter combines a full-radius tip (R4) with an 8 mm diameter body and two cutting edges, delivering compact yet capable performance where small overhangs and short cycle times are required. Constructed from HSS‑Co8, the tool provides improved hot hardness compared with standard high-speed steel, which supports longer tool life under elevated cutting temperatures. The TiCN coating reduces friction at the cutting zone and increases resistance to abrasive wear, so the tool maintains dimensional stability over repeated passes. This results in reliable component tolerances and fewer tool changes during batch runs.

Centre-cutting design that simplifies single-step milling

Thanks to the centre cutting geometry and right‑hand cutting orientation, the tool permits controlled plunging as well as conventional side milling. The extra-short geometry and a cutting-effective length of 17 mm reduce bending moment and vibration, improving surface finish and enabling more aggressive feeds on short-step features. Two flutes allow good chip evacuation in interrupted cuts and the compact profile supports rapid tool entry and exit, shortening cycle time in operations that combine pocketing and shoulder finishing.

Robust clamping and torque transmission for production use

A cylindrical shank with a Weldon-style drive flat provides secure clamping and positive torque transmission in conventional holders and chucks. The 10 mm shank diameter and drive flat reduce the risk of slippage in heavy cut conditions or when interrupting into varying material sections. This mechanical security, paired with the tool’s compact overall length of 61 mm, supports dependable repeatability on production benches and small machining centres where reliability and predictable clamping are essential.

Material suitability and practical guidance for selection

The tool is rated very good for steel and cast iron and conditionally suitable for non-ferrous metals, stainless steel and special alloys; the combination of cobalt alloyed HSS and TiCN coating helps maintain cutting edge integrity when cutting tougher steels up to the indicated strength range. For processes requiring extended dry cutting or higher cutting speeds, consider machining parameters that exploit the coating’s friction reduction and the substrate’s red hardness.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for plunge milling into steel?
The TECWERK full-radius end mill (SKU 2000866604NW) is centre cutting, so it is suitable for controlled plunge milling into steel and cast iron when using appropriate feeds and speeds.

What advantages does the TiCN coating provide?
The TiCN coating on the TECWERK cutter increases wear resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge, helping to extend tool life under elevated cutting temperatures and abrasive conditions.

Can this tool be used on stainless steel or alloyed materials?
The tool is conditionally suitable for stainless steel and special alloys; the HSS‑Co8 substrate improves hot hardness, but cutting parameters should be adapted and trial cuts recommended for optimised results.

How is the cutter held in the machine?
The tool features a Weldon shank with drive flat and a 10 mm shank diameter to ensure secure clamping and reliable torque transmission in conventional toolholders.

What makes this end mill appropriate for cast iron work?
Combination of the HSS‑Co8 material and TiCN coating delivers hardness and wear resistance that render the cutter very good for cast iron applications, where abrasive particle interaction is typical.
