Full-radius end mill D3 mm, solid carbide (VHM), TiAlN — TECWERK

The Full-radius end mill D3 mm is a short, centre-cutting solid-carbide cutter designed for precision milling of steel, cast iron and non-ferrous materials in workshop and production environments.

• Solid carbide (VHM) with TiAlN coating
• Short, centre-cutting design with 30° helix
• Very good for steel and stainless steel processing
• Cylindrical shank 6 mm to DIN 6535 HB

Precision for confined geometries and repeatable results

The short, centre-cutting geometry ensures secure plunging and immediate engagement in confined features. With a 3 mm nominal diameter and 1.5 mm full radius, the tool is optimised for contour finishing and fillet work where dimensional accuracy matters. The combination of a solid-carbide substrate and a TiAlN surface layer reduces flank wear and maintains cutting edge integrity, which translates into consistent part tolerances and fewer rejects in serial production.

Broad material suitability reduces tool changes

Engineered as a universal fine-grain carbide tool, this cutter is rated very good for a wide range of materials: unalloyed and alloyed steels, stainless (INOX), cast irons, bronzes, brass, copper and aluminium alloys containing silicon, plus abrasive plastics. The versatile material compatibility minimises tool swapping on mixed-production benches, improving throughput and reducing machine downtime. The TiAlN coating additionally supports high-temperature strength for sustained cutting in tougher alloys.

Geometry and coating that boost productivity

The 30° helix and two-flute layout promote efficient chip evacuation while maintaining axial stability; this is particularly helpful when working with small diameters where chip control is critical. The centre-cutting configuration enables plunge cuts and pocket entries without a separate drill operation. TiAlN coating offers enhanced oxidative resistance and heat hardness, extending tool life under elevated cutting temperatures—resulting in longer intervals between regrinds or replacements and a more economical machining process.

Compatibility, handling and set-up for workshop use

A 6 mm cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance ensures secure clamping in standard collets, facilitating quick tool changes and repeatable concentricity. The useful overall length of 50 mm and effective cutting length of 9 mm provide working reach while keeping tool deflection low. Short tools require less radial runout and therefore produce better surface finishes; together with correct speeds and feeds, this cutter supports high-quality results even in manual and CNC setups.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this cutter?
The Full-radius end mill D3 mm (TECWERK) is suitable for steel, stainless steel, cast irons, bronzes, brass, copper and aluminium alloys with silicon, as well as abrasive plastics.

Is the tool suitable for plunging and slotting operations?
Yes, the centre-cutting, short design allows safe plunging and slotting; the two-flute geometry aids chip evacuation during such operations.

What shank and clamping should be used for best rigidity?
Use a 6 mm collet compliant with DIN 6535 HB and h6 tolerance to ensure concentric clamping and minimal runout for optimal surface finish.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit production?
TiAlN increases thermal resistance and edge hardness at elevated temperatures, reducing wear and extending tool life under demanding cutting conditions.

Can this cutter be used on CNC milling machines and manual machines?
Yes, the cutter’s short length and robust geometry make it suitable for both CNC and manual milling setups when correct speeds and feeds are applied.
