TECWERK corner-radius end mill Ø6 mm (R3) – solid carbide, TiAlN

The corner-radius end mill Ø6 mm (R3) is a short, two-flute solid-carbide cutter designed for radius milling and plunge operations across steels and non-ferrous materials

• Solid carbide, TiAlN coated
• Centre-cut for plunge cutting
• 30° helix, two flutes
• Suitable for steel and cast iron

High-performance geometry for reliable productivity

The combination of solid carbide substrate and TiAlN coating gives a balance of hardness and thermal resistance that supports consistent machining in demanding jobs. The two-flute geometry reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow, which is particularly beneficial when working with tougher materials such as carbon steels and alloyed steels. With a defined R3 corner radius, the cutter produces repeatable edge geometry, reducing secondary finishing and improving cycle-time efficiency.

Short, rigid design for precise plunge and slotting operations

A short design with an effective length of 16 mm and a centre-cutting tip allows controlled plunging and dependable axial engagement. The cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB and h6 tolerance minimise runout in the tool holder, translating to more accurate radii and longer tool life. These attributes suit compact setups and applications where stiffness and positional accuracy are essential for achieving tight tolerances.

Broad material suitability with predictable tool life

The tool is optimised for a wide range of workpiece materials: steel and cast iron, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys such as bronze and brass, copper, aluminium with silicon, and abrasive plastics. The TiAlN layer improves resistance to heat and adhesion, reducing wear in intermittent or elevated-temperature cutting, which results in more consistent tool performance and fewer changeovers. This reliability supports continuous production and reduces the risk of scrap.

Practical fitment and runout control for machining shops

With a 6 mm shank diameter and compatibility with common collets and holders, the cutter integrates smoothly into standard tooling systems. The 30° helix provides a balance between surface finish and chip evacuation, helping to maintain process stability when slotting or shallow shoulder milling. The short flute length and robust core diameter make this cutter a sensible choice where stiffness under load leads directly to improved dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

FAQ

Which materials is the cutter suitable for?
The TECWERK corner-radius end mill (solid-carbide) is suitable for steel, cast iron, stainless steels, bronze, brass, copper, aluminium with silicon and abrasive plastics, offering very good suitability across these materials.

Can the cutter be used for plunge cutting?
Yes — the centre-cut geometry enables controlled plunge cutting, so the cutter can perform axial engagements as well as conventional side milling.

What are the shank and mounting specifications?
The tool has a 6 mm cylindrical shank to DIN 6535 HB with h6 tolerance, designed for standard collets and holders to ensure low runout and secure clamping.

How does the TiAlN coating benefit performance?
The TiAlN coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance, improving wear behaviour and adhesion resistance, which helps maintain cutting performance under higher temperatures.

What advantages does the 30° helix provide?
A 30° helix balances chip evacuation and surface finish; combined with two flutes it reduces cutting forces while supporting stable slotting and face milling operations.
