10.5mm Slot Cutter HSS-Co 8 Teeth 2.5mm Cutting Length, DIN 850D - ALPEN-MAYKESTAG GmbH

High wear resistance from HSS‑Co and a compact 10.5 mm diameter combine for accurate slotting in demanding steels and non‑ferrous metals; order the slotting cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed

MAYKESTAG slotting cutter (10.5 mm) — HSS‑Co, 8 flutes, DIN 850 D

The MAYKESTAG slotting cutter is a compact, Type N milling cutter for precision slotting and groove work in steels and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co for high heat resistance
• DIN 850D Type N standard
• 8 flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat

Consistent cutting performance for mixed steel and non‑ferrous workpieces

The cutter is made from HSS‑Co, a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel that offers improved red hardness and wear resistance compared with conventional HSS. This combination of material and geometry delivers stable cutting when working on construction, case‑hardened and quenched steels, as well as on short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, reducing the need for frequent regrinding. The DIN 850 D, Type N designation indicates a standardised geometry that balances cutting edge strength and chip control, helping to maintain consistent part quality across production runs.

Geometry and flute design that speed up cycle times

With 8 flutes, the tool promotes fine chip formation and continuous engagement, which enhances surface finish and reduces vibration in many milling operations. The 10.5 mm diameter and 8 mm cutting length create a compact cutter suited for narrow slots and grooves, while the 6 mm cylindrical shank with drive flat ensures secure clamping in standard toolholders and reduces the risk of slippage under load. Right‑hand cutting direction and the cutter’s flute count are tuned to support steady feed rates and predictable tool life, contributing to improved throughput in repetitive tasks.

Practical applications and safe handling in the workshop

This slotting cutter is engineered for shops and production lines that require a reliable general‑purpose milling tool for moderate to demanding materials. The Type N geometry and HSS‑Co composition make it resilient during interrupted cuts and occasional contact with harder surfaces, lowering downtime for tool changes. For operators less familiar with milling terminology: “short‑chipping” means the cutter produces small, breakable chips that are easier to evacuate, reducing the risk of chip entanglement and improving surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slotting cutter (SKU 4117802224NW) with HSS‑Co is specified for milling construction steels, case‑hardened and quenched steels, and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

How many flutes does the cutter have and what is the benefit?
The tool has 8 flutes, which aid efficient chip evacuation and contribute to a finer surface finish during slotting operations.

Does the shank type affect clamping?
Yes; the 6 mm cylindrical shank with drive flat on this MAYKESTAG cutter improves axial drive and prevents slippage in standard collets and chucks.

What does DIN 850 D Type N mean for everyday use?
DIN 850 D Type N denotes a standardised cutter geometry that balances edge strength and chip control, offering repeatable performance for general‑purpose milling tasks.

Is this cutter suitable for interrupted cuts and tougher materials?
The HSS‑Co composition and Type N geometry make the cutter robust for interrupted cuts and increased heat exposure, providing greater durability than standard HSS in such conditions.
