16mm Full Radius Cutter 29mm Effective Length TiCN Coated HSS-Co, Right-Hand - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co8 substrate, durable TiCN coating and a secure Weldon shank for consistent performance in short‑overhang, high‑precision milling tasks; order via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the specialists for suitability and delivery.

TECWERK full‑radius end mill D16 mm — HSS‑Co8, TiCN‑coated, Weldon shank

The TECWERK full‑radius end mill D16 mm is a compact, extra‑short cutter designed for rigid machining of steels and cast iron, offering a centre‑cutting geometry for plunge capability and a Weldon shank for positive clamping

• TiCN-coated HSS‑Co8 for improved wear resistance
• Weldon shank for secure, slip‑free clamping
• Extra‑short, centre‑cut, 2‑flute geometry
• Very good for steel and cast iron machining

High wear resistance and thermal stability for longer tool life

The combination of HSS‑Co8 substrate and TiCN coating delivers a balance of toughness and surface hardness that reduces flank wear and extends tool life in demanding operations. For components where repeatable edge condition matters, the plated surface minimises adhesion and contributes to consistent cutting behaviour. This material and coating pairing is particularly effective when machining medium‑strength steels up to approximately 1200 N/mm², where tool longevity and consistent dimensional results are priorities.

Geometry engineered for rigidity and improved surface finish

The full‑radius profile with an 8 mm corner radius on a 16 mm diameter provides a controlled contact area that reduces radial cutting forces and helps prevent chatter in short‑overhang setups. The 2‑flute configuration supports efficient chip evacuation in interrupted cuts, while the centre‑cutting design enables limited plunge machining. The Weldon shank ensures a robust mechanical connection to the toolholder, promoting concentricity and repeatable positioning on CNC machines and milling centres.

Application range and material suitability explained

This cutter is specified as very good for steel and very good for cast iron, with conditional suitability for non‑ferrous metals, special alloys and stainless steel. These gradations reflect the tool’s substrate and coating characteristics: the cobalt‑alloyed HSS core provides toughness for interrupted cuts, whereas the TiCN layer favours abrasive resistance in ferrous applications. For alloys and stainless grades, trial machining and parameter adjustments are recommended to validate surface finish and tool life.

Practical setup and machining recommendations

Use the extra‑short length and solid shank to keep overhang to a minimum and maintain rigidity; this reduces vibration and helps exploit the cutter’s full potential for surface quality. Secure clamping with a suitable Weldon holder is essential to avoid slippage under radial loads. Coolant or cutting fluid is advised where compatible with the workpiece and process to aid chip control and thermal management. The tool’s right‑hand cutting direction and centre‑cut capability support versatile use in CNC milling and focused finishing operations.

FAQ

Is this cutter suitable for stainless steel work?
The TECWERK full‑radius end mill (SKU 2000866612NW) is conditionally suitable for stainless steel; trials and adjusted feeds are recommended to assess tool life and finish.

Can the cutter be used for plunge milling?
Yes, the centre‑cutting geometry allows limited plunge operations and spot drilling when using the TECWERK full‑radius cutter in a secure, rigid setup.

What clamping system is required?
The tool uses a Weldon shank with a drive flat; a compatible Weldon holder provides the secure clamping needed for repeatable concentricity.

Is the cutter coated and what benefit does that provide?
The cutter is TiCN‑coated on an HSS‑Co8 substrate; the coating improves abrasive wear resistance and helps maintain edge condition in ferrous applications.

Which materials are recommended for this cutter?
Best results are achieved in steel and cast iron; non‑ferrous metals, special alloys and stainless steel are conditionally suitable and should be validated by test cuts.
