13mm Quarter-Round Profile Cutter R3.5mm HSS-Co Weldon Shank, Concave - ALPEN-MAYKESTAG GmbH

Take advantage of the combination of durable HSS‑Co construction and a precise concave profile (R3.5 mm) for consistent finishing on structural and quenched steels. Order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the Metav team for application advice.

Quarter‑circle profile cutter DIN 6518 B, Type N — HSS‑Co, Weldon shank

The quarter‑circle profile cutter DIN 6518 B (Type N) for concave milling in structural, case‑hardened and quenched steels, supplied with a Weldon shank for secure clamping

• HSS‑Co for high wear resistance
• DIN 6518 B quarter‑circle profile
• Weldon shank Ø 12 mm for secure clamping
• Concave form with radius R3.5 mm

Precision profile milling for demanding steel applications

The quarter‑circle profile cutter DIN 6518 B (Type N) delivers consistent concave contours thanks to its concave form and radius R3.5 mm, optimised for profiling tasks in production and repair workshops. Manufactured from HSS‑Co, the tool offers enhanced edge stability and wear resistance compared with standard high‑speed steels; this improves repeatability and reduces the frequency of tool changes. The cutter’s geometry follows the DIN 6518 B standard, facilitating predictable results when producing quarter‑circle profiles on shafts, housings or toolmaking samples. Explained simply: the defined radius and profile shape ensure reproducible fillets and transitions, reducing post‑machining effort.

Robust clamping and reliable cutting behaviour

Equipped with a Weldon shank and a shank Ø 12 mm, the tool secures reliably in standard milling holders, minimizing run‑out and vibration during high‑precision operations. The tool is right‑hand cutting, which suits conventional milling set‑ups and ensures controlled chip formation. The nominal cutter diameter and the reduced tip radius make this cutter particularly suitable for finishing passes where surface quality matters. Where material compatibility is a concern, the tool is specified as very well suited for steel, while use on stainless steel, non‑ferrous metals and cast materials is classified as conditional; choosing appropriate feeds and speeds will extend service life and maintain surface finish.

Practical benefits for workshop integration

The tool’s clear specification — concave profile, Weldon shank, and HSS‑Co construction — simplifies integration into existing tool inventories. With a compact cutting form and standardised interface, the cutter reduces set‑up time and allows predictable replacement cycles in production environments. For workshops aiming to standardise tooling across jobs that involve fillet machining or decorative profiling on hardened steels, the cutter provides a balance of precision, durability and ease of handling. Maintenance is straightforward: regular inspection of the cutting edge and correct seating in the holder maintain accuracy and tool life without complex procedures.
