Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co8 toughness and TiCN surface protection for reliable radius milling in demanding steels and cast iron, and secure the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the team for application advice.

TECWERK Solid Radius Cutter D10 mm – HSS‑Co8, TiCN‑coated, Weldon shank

The TECWERK Solid Radius Cutter D10 mm is an extra-short, two‑flute radius end mill designed for profile and radius milling in steels and cast iron up to approximately 1200 N/mm².

• HSS‑Co8 base material for high wear resistance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Extra-short profile with centre-cutting tip
• Weldon shank with drive flat for secure clamping

High-performance cutting for demanding steels and cast iron

The radius end mill is built from HSS‑Co8, a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel that combines toughness with wear resistance, and is TiCN‑coated to lower friction and delay flank wear. This combination makes the tool particularly suited to machining components with tensile strengths up to about 1200 N/mm², where a balance of hardness and fracture resistance is required. The 10 mm diameter and the integrated radius geometry allow smooth profile generation while maintaining the tool life expected in short‑run production and repair work.

Stable clamping and reduced deflection for accurate radii

A Weldon shank with a drive flat and a 10 mm shank diameter ensures secure clamping in setscrews and hydraulic chucks, reducing the risk of slippage during contouring. The extra‑short overall length (63 mm) and an effective length of 21 mm minimise overhang and therefore deflection, delivering repeatable radii and tighter tolerances. Centre‑cutting capability enables plunge entry where required, simplifying setups for pocketing or interrupted profiling.

Controlled chip removal and efficient two‑flute geometry

The cutter’s two‑flute design supports efficient chip evacuation, which is advantageous for intermittent cuts, contouring and machining of cast iron where brittle chips can break away cleanly. With a cutting length of 2 mm and a right‑hand cutting direction, the tool is optimised for short radial engagements and finish passes on fillets and small profiles. For less experienced users: two flutes often improve feed rates on finishing passes because they provide larger gullets for chips compared with multi‑flute designs.

Durable coating and recommended handling for long service life

The TiCN coating reduces built‑up edge and improves surface finish on challenging materials, while the cobalt content in the substrate enhances thermal resistance. For consistent performance, ensure secure clamping and avoid excessive overhang; use appropriate coolant or cutting fluid where machine and workpiece allow. Regular inspection of the cutting edges and proper reconditioning will maintain the geometry of the radius and prolong service intervals.

FAQ

What materials is this radius cutter best suited for?
The TECWERK solid radius cutter is very well suited for steel and cast iron and is specified for applications on materials up to around 1200 N/mm²; it is conditionally suitable for some non‑ferrous metals, special alloys and stainless steel.

Does the tool allow plunge cutting?
Yes. The tool is centre‑cutting, which permits plunge entries for pocketing or interrupted contouring when using the solid radius cutter in suitable setups.

How does the TiCN coating benefit the tool?
The TiCN coating reduces friction and helps prevent built‑up edge, which improves surface finish and extends the service life of the cutter under moderate to heavy use.

Why choose a Weldon shank for this cutter?
A Weldon shank with a drive flat provides secure mechanical clamping in collets or set screws, reducing slippage and improving repeatability when machining profiles and radii.

What are the advantages of a two‑flute design for this application?
The two‑flute geometry offers larger chip gullets and effective chip evacuation, which is beneficial for interrupted cuts, finishing passes and machining brittle materials such as cast iron.

Is the cutter suitable for use on a small milling machine?
Yes, the extra‑short design and reduced overhang minimise deflection, making the cutter appropriate for smaller milling machines provided the machine can accept the 10 mm shank and deliver the necessary rigidity.
