MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D, Type N – 13.5 mm, HSS‑Co

The MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N is a precision slotting tool designed for machining structural, case‑hardening and quenched‑and‑tempered steels, plus short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, featuring an HSS‑Co cutting material and a cylindrical shank with drive flat

• HSS‑Co for high wear resistance
• 8 flutes for smooth chip control
• DIN 850 D, Type N geometry
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat, 10 mm

Durable cutting performance for demanding steels

The combination of HSS‑Co (cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel) and a standardised DIN 850 D geometry provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance suitable for interrupted cuts and heavy‑duty slotting. The cobalt content increases red‑hardness and edge stability under heat, which prolongs tool life when machining structural and quenched‑and‑tempered steels. In practice, this means more consistent part quality and reduced tool changes on the shop floor.

Consistent chip control and surface quality

With 8 flutes, the cutter achieves a finer chip breakup and steadier feed engagement, resulting in improved surface finish and reduced vibration in slotting operations. The short cutting length 8 mm combined with the flute count is particularly effective for shallow slots and precision grooves in short‑chipping materials. The design helps to avoid built‑up edge and supports higher feed rates where machine rigidity and clamping are adequate.

Secure clamping and practical dimensions for workshop use

The tool’s 13.5 mm cutting diameter and 10 mm shank, paired with a cylindrical shank with drive flat, ensure reliable clamping in standard collets and toolholders while preventing slippage during torque‑intensive operations. An overall length of 56 mm provides convenient reach without excess overhang, reducing deflection risk. The cutter’s right‑hand cutting orientation matches common toolpath strategies for efficient material removal.

FAQ

What materials is this slot cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter is intended for structural, case‑hardening and quenched‑and‑tempered steels and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, as specified by its HSS‑Co composition and DIN 850 D geometry.

Which machine interfaces are compatible with the cutter?
Clamping is via a 10 mm cylindrical shank with a drive flat; the cutter fits standard collets and holders that accept a 10 mm shank and provide secure torque transmission.

How does the 8‑flute configuration affect machining?
Eight flutes provide finer chip division and a steadier cutting load, improving surface finish and enabling higher feed rates in suitable materials while maintaining tool life.

Is this cutter appropriate for deep slotting operations?
This tool has an 8 mm cutting length and is optimised for precision slots and shallow grooves; for deep slotting, tools with longer cutting lengths are recommended.

Are machining parameters available for this tool?
Cutting data depend on machine rigidity, workpiece material and coolant; Metav Werkzeuge can provide application‑specific parameters for the MAYKESTAG slot cutter 4117802227NW
