T‑slot milling cutter »T‑Nutenfräser DIN 851 AB Typ N, 18 mm« by ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG

The T‑slot milling cutter is designed for producing DIN‑compatible T‑slots in a range of steels and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, offering a robust shank and serrated tooth form for steady cutting.

*High‑performance HSS‑Co construction
*Cross serration for improved chip control
*Designed for T‑slots to DIN 650 (10 mm)
*Right‑hand cutting, 8 teeth

Built for reliable T‑slot production

The HSS‑Co material provides enhanced hot‑hardness compared with standard high‑speed steels, which means the cutter retains edge stability at elevated cutting temperatures; this leads to longer tool life when machining structural and case‑hardened steels. The cross serration on the teeth breaks chips into short, controllable fragments, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and improving surface finish. For businesses aiming to keep setup times low, these properties translate into fewer tool changes and more consistent production runs.

Compatibility and straightforward mounting

A 12 mm shank with a drive flat allows secure clamping in standard collets and shrinkholders, ensuring concentric running and reduced vibration. The cutter’s nominal diameter of 18 mm and the design for DIN 650 T‑slots with a width of 10 mm make it suitable for retrofitting into established machine programmes without redesigning fixtures. The simple, defined shank dimensions make tool selection and spindle configuration quicker, helping to maintain throughput in mixed‑batch environments.

Geometry tuned for consistent slot quality

With 8 teeth and a right‑hand cutting direction, the milling geometry is optimised for steady feed and even metal removal; the eight cutting edges distribute load and reduce cutting forces per tooth, which benefits both tool life and slot accuracy. The cutter’s overall length of 70 mm and cutting length of 8 mm suit typical T‑slot depths while keeping overhang minimal to preserve rigidity. The tool is expressly intended for milling construction, case‑hardened and tempered steels as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous materials, so operators can expect repeatable slot profiles and reduced manual rework when switching between those materials.
