TECWERK solid-carbide end mill 12 mm — TiAlN-coated, extra-long

The TECWERK solid-carbide end mill 12 mm is designed for high-feed, vibration-reduced milling applications, offering an extra-long reach and a TiAlN surface treatment for extended service life.

• TiAlN coating for extended tool life
• Solid carbide, fine-grain for stable cutting
• Extra-long 45 mm effective length
• Six-flute geometry for efficient material removal

Longer uptime through advanced coating and material

The combination of TiAlN coating and a solid-carbide, fine-grain substrate extends tool life under elevated temperatures and abrasive conditions. The TiAlN layer increases oxidation resistance and thermal stability, which permits higher cutting speeds without premature wear. For production environments requiring sustained throughput, this results in fewer tool changes and improved machine availability.

Geometry engineered to reduce vibration and boost productivity

An unequal-pitch, six-flute geometry with a 35–38° helix and a 45° protective chamfer provides stable cutting and efficient chip evacuation even on interrupted cuts. The neck relief and extra-long design allow access to deep features while maintaining chatter resistance. Right-hand cutting and the multi-edge configuration ensure consistent material removal rates during both roughing and finishing operations.

Broad material compatibility to simplify tool planning

The cutter is optimised for a wide material range: steel, cast iron, stainless steels (INOX), non-ferrous metals, aluminium with silicon content, special alloys and abrasive materials. Its versatility reduces the number of dedicated tools required on the shop floor, enabling streamlined tool inventories and faster job changeovers. The tool’s geometry supports both roughing and finishing tasks, delivering acceptable surface quality while maintaining productive cutting parameters.

Accurate clamping and consistent performance

A 12 mm shank with h6 tolerance and a cylindrical shank according to DIN 6535 HB provide secure, concentric clamping for low run-out. With an overall length of 93 mm and an effective length of 45 mm, the cutter balances reach and rigidity for precise machining. These dimensional controls support repeatable results across batches and contribute to predictable tool lifetime and part quality.
