16mm Quarter-Round Profile Cutter R5 HSS-Co Weldon Shank, 4-Flute Right-Hand - ALPEN-MAYKESTAG GmbH

Take advantage of a cobalt high‑speed steel construction and a precise R5 mm quarter‑round profile to maintain consistent edge geometry and extended tool life in steelworking operations; order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult Metav’s specialists for application support

Quarter‑round profile cutter DIN 6518 B Type N, R5 mm, Ø16 mm — ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG

The Quarter‑round profile cutter DIN 6518 B Type N, R5 mm, Ø16 mm HSS‑Co Weldon is a concave profile milling cutter designed for accurate contouring and robust performance in structural and tempered steels

• HSS‑Co for high wear resistance
• Quarter‑round profile R5 mm for precise contours
• Weldon shank 12 mm for secure clamping
• Very well suited for steel applications

Consistent cutting performance for demanding steelwork

Constructed from HSS‑Co, this profile cutter delivers a reliable balance between toughness and wear resistance, making it particularly effective when machining structural, case‑hardened and tempered steels. Built to DIN 6518 B Type N dimensions, the tool’s R5 mm quarter‑round geometry produces repeatable concave contours while the four flutes maintain chip evacuation and surface finish. The right‑hand cutting orientation and the compact Ø16 mm tool body ensure stable engagement in finishing passes, reducing the need for corrective rework and supporting predictable cycle times

Secure mounting and straightforward tool handling

A Weldon shank with a 12 mm diameter and drive flat ensures firm clamping in standard toolholders, preventing slippage under side loads and enabling safer high‑speed indexing. The tool’s overall length 60 mm and reduced neck Ø6 mm provide clearance for deeper reaches while maintaining rigidity where it matters. These design choices translate into straightforward set‑up, quicker tool changes and less downtime on the shop floor, supporting continuous production and operator confidence

Practical applications and material recommendations

This concave profile cutter is aimed at profile finishing, edge rounding and decorative moulding in metalworking, particularly in toolrooms and small‑batch production. The cutter is very well suited for steel and is conditionally suitable for non‑ferrous metals, stainless steel and cast iron — adjustments to feeds and speeds are recommended when crossing materials. With four cutting edges and a short cutting length, the cutter reduces vibration and helps achieve a consistent surface quality, while the cobalt alloy composition allows periodic regrinding to extend life and lower total operating cost
