Full-radius end mill Ø5 mm — solid carbide, TiAlN-coated, 2 flutes (TECWERK)

The Full-radius end mill Ø5 mm is a short, centre-cutting tool designed for precision milling in steels, cast irons and non-ferrous alloys, supplied with a cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB.

• Solid carbide with TiAlN coating
• Centre-cutting for plunge milling
• Short design, Ø5 mm; 16 mm effective length
• Cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HB, 6 mm

High thermal resistance for longer tool life

The combination of solid carbide substrate and TiAlN surface treatment provides improved thermal stability and oxidation resistance during high-temperature cutting. This means the cutter maintains its geometry under heat, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes on demanding runs. For workshops handling mixed batches, the coating reduces the adhesion of workpiece material and supports consistent flank wear behaviour, which helps to keep machining tolerances stable over time.

Versatile performance across common engineering materials

Thanks to a 30° helix and a two-flute geometry, the tool achieves efficient chip evacuation while preserving surface quality when machining steel and non-ferrous metals. The design is described as very well suited for steel, cast iron, stainless steels (CrNi), bronze, brass, copper and aluminium with silicon content, and even certain abrasive plastics. The overall construction balances rigidity and toughness to allow controlled cutting in both conventional milling and finishing passes, delivering predictable results in small-batch production and repair work.

Practical geometry for precision features and plunge work

The centre-cutting profile permits axial engagement, enabling safe plunging and slot entry without pre-drilling. With an effective length of 16 mm and a compact overall length, the tool is optimised for operations where tool stick-out must be minimised to reduce deflection. The 2 flutes and small Ø5 mm diameter make it well suited for pocketing, contouring and micro-roughing applications where access and surface finish matter, while the full-radius cutting edge supports controlled corner radii on components.

Machine compatibility and clamping reliability

A 6 mm cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB ensures standardised clamping in common tool holders and boring heads. The right-hand cutting direction and centre-cutting capability simplify integration into existing CNC programmes without special toolpaths. For shops requiring predictable repeatability, the shank tolerance specified as h6 provides secure seating and concentricity, which benefits high-precision milling tasks and reduces the need for frequent remeasurement.

FAQ

Is this tool suitable for plunging and ramping operations?
Yes. The TECWERK full-radius end mill is centre-cutting, which allows axial engagement for plunging and controlled ramping without prior drill entry.

Which materials can be machined effectively with this cutter?
The cutter performs very well on steel and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steels (CrNi), cast iron varieties, bronze, brass and aluminium with silicon content, as specified for the TECWERK full-radius end mill (SKU 2000866972NW).

How does the TiAlN coating benefit machining?
The TiAlN coating improves heat resistance and reduces adhesion of workpiece material, leading to longer tool life and steadier cutting performance under higher temperatures.

What clamping systems are compatible with the shank?
The tool has a 6 mm cylindrical shank manufactured to DIN 6535 HB, making it compatible with standard collets and holders that accept h6 tolerance shanks.

Can this cutter be used for finishing passes?
Yes. Its geometry and 2-flute configuration support good surface finish in finishing passes, especially on small features and contours where reduced tool deflection is important.
