MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N — 4.5 mm, HSS‑Co

A MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N designed for precision slotting in construction steels, case‑hardened and tempered steels and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co high‑performance material
• 6 flutes for smooth chip removal
• Cylindrical shank with driving flat
• Suitable for tempered and construction steels

Durable material and standardised geometry for consistent performance

The use of HSS‑Co provides enhanced hot‑hardness and abrasion resistance compared with standard high‑speed steels, which makes this cutter suitable for extended operation under demanding conditions. Conformance to DIN 850 D and the Type N geometry ensures predictable cutting behaviour and straightforward replacement in existing tool sets. The compact 4.5 mm diameter combines access to narrow slots with sufficient core strength to limit vibration and tool deflection, supporting repeatable results in small‑bore slotting operations.

Geometry optimised for surface quality and efficient chip control

A six‑flute configuration gives a balanced compromise between chip space and surface finish: the 6 flutes support higher feed rates while maintaining a fine surface texture, and the 6 mm cutting length suits short slot depths typical in fixtures and assemblies. For non‑ferrous materials that form short chips, the profile and flute spacing promote controlled chip fragmentation and evacuation, reducing the risk of re‑cutting. These design choices translate into fewer interruptions and a more efficient machining cycle for medium‑duty production tasks.

Secure clamping and compatibility with standard holders

The cutter is supplied with a 6 mm shank and a cylindrical shank with driving flat, enabling secure mounting in standard collets and holders where a driving flat prevents rotation in high‑torque conditions. The right‑hand cut suits conventional spindle directions and is compatible with common milling setups. The overall length of 50 mm provides reach for recessed work while maintaining stiffness, allowing integration into a variety of machines without special adaptors.

Productivity advantages for everyday workshop tasks

Selecting a tool made from cobalt‑alloyed HSS and featuring an optimised flute count reduces downtime associated with premature wear and unscheduled replacements. The cutter’s specification supports steady material removal rates in construction and tempered steels, offering lower total cost per part through extended tool life and consistent surface quality. Combined with Metav’s dependable supply chain and product range, this tool is a practical choice for workshops seeking to streamline tooling inventory and keep production moving.

FAQ

What materials is this slot cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter (SKU 4117802220NW) is intended for machining construction steels, case‑hardened and tempered steels, and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals thanks to its HSS‑Co composition and flute geometry.

What is the shank size and how is it clamped?
The tool has a 6 mm shank and a cylindrical shank with a driving flat, enabling secure clamping in standard 6 mm collets and holders without additional adaptors.

How deep can this cutter mill effectively?
With a cutting length of 6 mm and an overall length of 50 mm, the cutter is optimised for shallow to medium slot depths typical in fixture work and component machining where rigidity and surface finish are priorities.

How does the six‑flute design affect cutting performance?
The six‑flute configuration increases achievable feed rates while promoting a fine surface finish; it balances chip removal and cutting load for efficient, continuous machining.

Is the cutter compliant with industry standards?
Yes, the geometry follows DIN 850 D (Type N), providing compatibility with established tool families and predictable cutting characteristics.
