MAYKESTAG Slot Cutter DIN 850D Type N — 13.5 mm, HSS‑Co, 8 flutes

A MAYKESTAG slot cutter engineered for precise slotting in construction, tool and quenched steels, plus short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, featuring a cylindrical shank with drive flat for secure clamping.

• HSS‑Co grade for heat-resistant cutting
• DIN 850 D Type N geometry for stable milling
• 13.5 mm diameter with 8 cutting edges
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat for secure clamping

High‑performance cutting for demanding steels

The cutter's HSS‑Co composition (cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel) offers elevated hot‑hardness compared with unalloyed high‑speed steels, so the tool maintains edge stability under increased temperatures. The specified DIN 850 D and Type N geometry combine edge strength with a balanced helix that reduces vibration, which translates into improved surface finish and longer tool life when machining medium‑ and high‑strength steels. This technical combination supports reliable cycle times in production environments.

Controlled chips and material versatility

Designed for short‑chipping materials, the flute geometry and eight cutting edges foster compact chip formation, easing evacuation in shallow slots and reducing the risk of recutting. Compatibility with construction, tool and quenched steels, as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, makes the cutter a versatile option for repair, prototyping and series work. Explaining the jargon: “short‑chipping” means chips break into short segments rather than long strings, which lowers the chance of chip entanglement and supports stable cutting in interrupted or slotting operations.

Secure holding and repeatable accuracy

The 10 mm shank with a dedicated drive flat provides repeatable clamping in standard collets and chuck systems; the robust connection minimises slippage during plunge or transverse slotting. A cutting length of 8 mm limits engagement depth per pass for precise slot dimensions and helps to preserve concentricity over multiple tool changes. For shops aiming to standardise setups, this combination reduces rework and increases the predictability of machining results.

Practical integration and process support

This slotting tool is supplied as a single unit and fits typical milling tool setups without modification. The right‑hand cutting orientation and compact flute count favour steady feed rates and reduce thrust on the workpiece, which is beneficial when maintaining tolerances in fixtures or jigs. For customers requiring specific cutting parameters for particular alloys, Metav Werkzeuge provides machining tables and application support to adapt feeds and speeds to machine rigidity and workpiece hardness.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter is specified for machining construction steels, tool steels and quenched steels, and it is also suitable for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals thanks to its HSS‑Co cutting material and Type N geometry.

How is the tool clamped for reliable performance?
Clamping is achieved on the 10 mm cylindrical shank with drive flat; this ensures secure holding in standard collets or chucks and helps prevent rotation under load during slotting.

How many cutting edges does the tool have and what is the cutting length?
The tool features 8 flutes and a cutting length of 8 mm, a combination that supports stable cutting action and controlled chip formation in slotting operations.

Can the cutter be used for interrupted cuts or slot entry conditions?
Yes, the robust Type N geometry and cobalt‑alloyed HSS composition provide the necessary edge strength and thermal stability for many interrupted cutting or entry‑intensive slotting tasks.

Is coating applied to the cutter for wear resistance?
No coating is specified for this tool; the performance is derived from the HSS‑Co material and the DIN 850 D geometry, which together balance wear resistance and edge toughness.
