Slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N, Ø4.5 mm – HSS‑Co, 6 flutes (MAYKESTAG)

A slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N designed for precision slotting in construction, case‑hardened and tempered steels and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, supplied with a cylindrical shank and drive flat.

• HSS‑Co for high wear resistance
• Six flutes for smooth material removal
• Precision Ø4.5 mm cutting diameter
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat

Faster, dependable cuts in demanding materials

The HSS‑Co composition gives the cutter increased hot hardness and edge retention compared with conventional high‑speed steel, so machining cycles remain consistent even under intermittent load. This makes the tool particularly suited to short‑chipping materials and alloyed structural steels where chip formation and tool life are critical. By specifying a tool made to DIN 850 D, workshops receive a standardised geometry that simplifies process planning and reduces scrap from incorrect tool selection.

Smooth surface finish through optimised flute geometry

A geometry with six flutes minimises radial forces and improves chip evacuation on shallow slotting operations. The result is a cleaner slot and reduced tendency for chatter, which benefits both manual and CNC setups. The 6 mm cutting length is optimised for controlled engagement in panel or component edges, providing a balance between reach and rigidity; the shorter effective cutting zone keeps deflection low and helps maintain tolerances with every pass.

Secure clamping and compatibility with common toolholders

The cylindrical shank with a drive flat is engineered for reliable gripping in standard collets and chuck systems, preventing slippage during interrupted cuts. A shank diameter of 6 mm matches common workshop tooling, permitting quick tool changes and straightforward integration into existing tool sets. Overall length of 50 mm gives enough reach for many slotting tasks while keeping the clamped length sufficient for stable operation.

Designed for everyday workshop and small‑batch production

Manufactured by ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG, the cutter is intended for routine use in repair shops, toolrooms and small production lines where predictable performance is essential. The right‑hand cutting direction aligns with standard feed orientations and simplifies operator instructions. For operations that cycle between steels and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, the combination of material and flute count reduces the need for multiple specialised cutters, streamlining inventory and set‑up times.

FAQ

What materials can this slot cutter machine effectively?
The slot cutter from ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG is designed for construction, case‑hardened and tempered steels and is also suitable for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals as specified for the Type N DIN 850 D design.

Which shank size is required for this tool?
The cutter features a 6 mm shank diameter and a drive flat, matching standard 6 mm collets and chucks for secure clamping of the MAYKESTAG slot cutter (SKU 4117802220NW).

How many flutes does the cutter have and what is the benefit?
This tool has six flutes; the increased flute count improves surface finish and reduces vibration during slotting, leading to steadier cuts and better dimensional control.

Is the cutter suitable for CNC and manual milling machines?
Yes; the combination of HSS‑Co material, standardised DIN 850 D geometry and a cylindrical shank with drive flat makes the cutter compatible with both CNC and manual milling setups.

Where can feed and speed recommendations be obtained?
