8mm Full Radius Cutter 17mm Effective Length TiCN Coated HSS-Co, 10mm Shank Weldon - TECWERK

The combination of a HSS‑Co8 substrate and TiCN coating delivers durable performance for short-reach profiling and plunge operations; this reduces tool changes and supports stable production. Benefit from the extra-short design and centre-cutting geometry for rigid setups and precise edge radii.

Full-radius end mill Ø 8 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN, extra-short (TECWERK)

A full-radius end mill Ø 8 mm engineered for short-reach profiling, centre plunging and high-precision finishing in steel and cast-iron applications

• HSS‑Co8 substrate with TiCN coating
• Extra-short design for rigid, chatter-free milling
• Centre-cutting two-flute geometry
• Cylindrical shank with Weldon drive flat

Precise short-reach profiling with consistent radii

The HSS‑Co8 substrate supplies high red hardness and toughness for interrupted cuts, while the TiCN surface reduces adhesion and abrasive wear. Together these properties make the tool suitable for demanding finishing and profiling tasks where a defined corner radius is required. With a radius 4 mm on a Ø 8 mm body and a cutting geometry that permits axial plunging, the cutter achieves repeatable contours and clean transitions without secondary operations. The design supports fewer tool changes, improving cycle reliability in serial production.

Machining performance and material suitability explained

This cutter is optimised for ferrous materials: steel and cast iron are indicated as very well suited, while non-ferrous and special alloys are conditionally machinable. The tool’s right-hand cutting direction and centre-cutting capability mean it can enter material axially for pocketing or interrupted features. The short cutting length and stiff geometry reduce deflection and vibration, which leads to improved surface finish and tighter tolerances on critical components. For workshops requiring repeatable edge radii, the tool provides an efficient, low-setup solution.

Coating and geometry: why longevity and surface quality improve

The TiCN coating lowers friction and raises thermal stability compared with uncoated HSS, which supports higher cutting speeds and extended tool life under comparable conditions. The two-flute design evacuates chips efficiently in shallow cuts, and the extra-short overall profile reduces overhang to limit chatter. Centre-cutting flutes enable plunge cuts without pre-drilling, saving cycle steps in many operations. These design choices translate directly into less downtime, more consistent part quality and a measurable reduction in rework.

Mounting, handling and integration into the workflow

The tool features a cylindrical shank with Weldon drive flat and a shaft diameter 10 mm, enabling secure clamping in standard holders and torque transmission for higher loads. The tool’s effective length 17 mm and overall length 61 mm are balanced for compact setups on milling heads or small machines. Due to the extra-short format and stiff shank, it is especially suitable for jigs, fixtured parts and milling operations with limited clearance. Clear labelling and industry-standard shank geometry make integration straightforward for production and tool management systems.

FAQ

What materials is this full-radius cutter best suited for?
The full-radius end mill (TECWERK, SKU 2000866604NW) is stated as very well suited for steel and cast iron, with conditional suitability for non-ferrous metals and special alloys.

Can the tool perform plunge cuts or pocketing operations?
Yes. The centre-cutting two-flute geometry allows axial plunging, so the cutter can be used for pocketing and plunge operations without prior drilling.

How does the TiCN coating benefit tool life?
The TiCN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance compared with uncoated HSS, which helps to extend service intervals and maintain surface finish consistency.

Is the shank compatible with standard tool holders?
The cylindrical shank with Weldon drive flat and 10 mm shaft diameter is compatible with standard collet chucks and Weldon-style holders for secure clamping.

What are the dimensions relevant for fixture planning?
Key dimensions: Ø 8 mm, effective length 17 mm, overall length 61 mm and a cutting length of 2 mm; these define reach and clamping requirements.
