MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D, 13.5 mm – HSS‑Co, 8 flutes

The MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D is a Type N milling cutter designed for slotting and face operations in structural, case‑hardening and tempered steels as well as for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

• HSS‑Co cutting material for extended life
• Complies with DIN 850 D standard
• Suitable for structural and tempered steels
• Cylindrical shank with driving flat

Proven performance for short‑chipping materials

The combination of HSS‑Co alloy and an eight‑flute geometry provides increased wear resistance and controlled chip formation when machining short‑chipping materials. This results in a stable cutting action and longer tool life compared with conventional high‑speed steels, especially under intermittent loading typical of slotting tasks. The tool’s design reduces the risk of built‑up edge and supports predictable surface finishes, which is particularly important when machining construction and case‑hardened steels.

Precise dimensions for repeatable results

With a nominal diameter of 13.5 mm and a cutting length of 4 mm, the cutter delivers consistent slot widths and repeatable results in series production. The DIN 850 D designation indicates the cutter’s conformance to recognised sizing and geometry parameters, enabling straightforward tool selection and interchangeability in production environments. Users benefit from predictable performance across batches and simplified inventory management when standardised tool specifications are required.

Secure mounting and dependable torque transmission

The cylindrical shank with driving flat simplifies clamping and ensures reliable torque transmission in collets and tool holders that accept straight shanks. The driving flat prevents slippage under higher axial or radial loads, improving process stability during plunge and slotting operations. For workshops seeking dependable mounting without specialised adaptors, this shank type supports quick tool changes and steady production throughput.

Versatile application range and handling notes

This Type N slot cutter is engineered for use on structural, case‑hardening and tempered steels as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, allowing one cutter to cover a range of common workshop tasks. While it is optimised for short‑chip materials, careful selection of cutting parameters—feed per tooth and appropriate coolant or air blast—enhances chip evacuation and surface quality. The cutter’s construction is aimed at operators and procurement specialists who prioritise longevity, interchangeability and predictable machining results.

FAQ

Is this slot cutter suitable for hardened steels?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter is suitable for case‑hardening and tempered steels; its HSS‑Co composition improves wear resistance on harder workpiece surfaces.

Can the cutter be used on non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium or brass?
Yes, the cutter is designed for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals as well as steels, provided cutting parameters are adapted for the softer material to avoid clogging.

What does DIN 850 D mean for tool selection?
DIN 850 D denotes a standardised geometry and dimensional tolerance for slot cutters, helping to ensure compatibility and predictable performance when replacing or specifying tools.

How does the driving flat affect mounting?
The cylindrical shank with driving flat offers secure torque transmission in standard collets and holders, reducing slippage during heavy slotting operations.

Is coolant recommended when using this cutter?
Coolant or directed air can assist chip evacuation and extend tool life, particularly when machining steels; selection depends on material and cutting conditions.
