Slot milling cutter DIN 850 D Type N, Ø 16.5 mm, HSS‑Co – ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG

A Slot milling cutter DIN 850 D Type N designed for slotting and face milling of construction, case‑hardened and quenched steels as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co material for high heat resistance
• DIN 850 D Type N cutting geometry
• 8 flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Shank Ø 10 mm with drive flat

Consistent cutting performance in demanding steels

Manufactured from HSS‑Co, the cutter offers increased red‑hardness and wear resistance compared with standard high‑speed steel, which benefits operations on tougher workpiece materials. The DIN 850 D / Type N geometry combines a robust cutter body with stable flute profiles to reduce chatter and extend tool life. This results in reliably repeatable cuts when machining construction and quenched steels, supporting stable production throughput and predictable tool intervals.

Fast chip removal and improved surface quality

The 8 flutes are arranged to balance cutting forces and promote continuous chip evacuation, particularly effective within the cutter’s cutting length 8 mm. A compact diameter of Ø 16.5 mm reduces deflection in slotting tasks while maintaining rigidity, which helps to achieve a smoother surface finish and tighter dimensional control. For short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, this flute count and geometry suppress built‑up edge formation and support higher feed rates where the process allows.

Secure clamping and workshop compatibility

The cylindrical shank with a drive flat and a shank Ø 10 mm enables reliable clamping in standard holders and collets, simplifying tool changes in busy shops. An overall length of 56 mm keeps the projection low, reducing vibration and improving concentricity under load. The cutter is right‑hand cutting, suitable for conventional milling set‑ups. Together these mechanical features make the tool straightforward to integrate into existing tool magazines and manual fixtures without special adaptations.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this slot milling cutter?
The ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG slot milling cutter (SKU 4117802228NW) is intended for machining construction steels, case‑hardened and quenched steels, and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, thanks to its HSS‑Co composition and Type N geometry.

Is the shank compatible with standard collets?
Yes; the tool has a shank Ø 10 mm and a cylindrical shank with drive flat, ensuring secure clamping in common 10 mm collets and chucks used in general workshop tooling.

Is this cutter suitable for finishing passes?
The combination of 8 flutes and a compact diameter (Ø 16.5 mm) supports good surface quality in slotting and light finishing operations, provided cutting parameters are adjusted for material and machine rigidity.

How should the cutter be clamped to avoid run‑out?
Use a precision collet or shrink fit holder for the shank Ø 10 mm and ensure minimal tool projection to benefit from the cutter’s overall length 56 mm and reduced tendency to vibrate during cutting.

Which cutting direction does the tool use?
The tool is right‑hand cutting, compatible with standard clockwise spindle rotation used in most milling operations.
