MAYKESTAG T‑slot cutter DIN 851 AB — 28 mm, HSS‑Co, cross‑tooth, 8 flutes

A MAYKESTAG T‑slot cutter engineered for precision machining of T‑slots in construction, case‑hardened and tempered steels, and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

• Cobalt‑alloy HSS for increased red hardness
• Cross‑tooth geometry for controlled chip break
• Nominal Ø 28 mm for DIN 650 T‑slots
• Cylindrical shank Ø 16 mm with drive flat

Reliable performance in demanding materials

The cutter is manufactured from HSS‑Co, a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel that maintains hardness at elevated temperatures. This metallurgical composition delivers improved red hardness and wear resistance compared with conventional HSS, which translates into longer tool life when machining tougher materials. For production environments where run‑time and consistency matter, the material choice reduces the frequency of tool changes and supports stable throughput.

Steadier machining thanks to optimised chip control

The cross‑tooth serration and 8 flutes produce short, repeatable chips and help to avoid clogging in slot machining. This geometry reduces vibration and contributes to a cleaner cutting action, improving surface finish and dimensional stability of the slot. For operators less familiar with serrated cutters: the serrations act like miniature chip breakers, splitting swarf into smaller fragments and reducing the risk of built‑up edge during operation.

Easy integration with existing tooling systems

Critical dimensions are aligned with industry practice: 28 mm nominal diameter, cutting length 8 mm, overall length 85 mm and a 16 mm shank with drive flat for secure retention. Conforming to DIN 851 AB and intended for T‑slots to DIN 650 (16 mm), the cutter fits standard holders and simplifies tool‑change logistics on milling machines. The right‑hand cutting direction matches conventional spindle arrangements, so retrofitting into existing processes requires minimal adjustment.

FAQ

Which materials can this cutter machine reliably?
The cutter is made from HSS‑Co and is intended for milling construction, case‑hardened and tempered steels, as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals; the material choice supports higher cutting temperatures and improved wear resistance.

What holder size is required for secure clamping?
Use a toolholder compatible with a 16 mm shank and a drive flat; the shank diameter and format ensure stable clamping in standard collets and shrink or mechanical holders.

How does the serrated geometry affect surface quality?
The cross‑tooth serration promotes controlled chip break and reduces vibration, which often leads to better surface finish and more consistent slot dimensions compared with non‑serrated cutters.

Is this cutter suitable for standard DIN 650 T‑slots?
Yes; the cutter’s dimensions and profile are designed for T‑slots to DIN 650: 16 mm, and the nominal Ø 28 mm matches common slot profiles for that standard.
