Quarter-round profile cutter DIN 6518B Typ N R.2mm Ø10mm — ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG (HSS‑Co, Weldon shank)

A Quarter-round profile cutter DIN 6518B designed for concave milling and finishing of structural and alloy steels in machining operations

• HSS‑Co for excellent wear resistance
• Quarter‑round R2 mm concave profile
• Ø10 mm shank with Weldon drive flat
• Right‑hand cutting for conventional milling

Precise concave profiling that reduces finishing work

The cutter’s concave R2 mm geometry produces a consistent quarter‑round contour, enabling repeatable moulding and radius generation in component edges. Manufactured to DIN 6518B guidelines from HSS‑Co, the tool combines toughness with heat resistance, which is particularly advantageous when shaping steel components. A stable profile means less manual deburring and a more immediate fit in assemblies, so production flow benefits from fewer downstream corrections and predictable part quality.

Durable cutting performance and stable clamping

Equipped with 4 flutes, the tool balances chip evacuation and surface finish for short to medium engagement cuts. The Weldon shank with Ø10 mm diameter ensures secure clamping in standard tool holders and minimises slip under transverse loads. With an overall length of 60 mm and a cutting length of 4 mm, the geometry suits profile work where a compact cutter and controlled engagement improve run‑out and accuracy. The cobalt‑alloy composition extends service life under elevated temperatures and intermittent heavy cuts, offering a cost‑effective replacement cycle for busy workshops.

Application guidance and material suitability

Primarily engineered for structural, case‑hardened and tempered steels, the tool shows very good suitability for steel, while being conditionally suitable for stainless steel and non‑ferrous metals. Use conservative feeds when profiling stainless or aluminium variants and consider coolant to preserve edge integrity. The right‑hand cutting direction matches standard spindle rotation; secure workholding and light finishing passes will yield the best surface quality. For users seeking consistent concave profiles without extensive rework, this cutter simplifies setup and delivers repeatable results.
