Robust HSS‑Co construction combined with DIN 850 D Type N geometry delivers consistent slotting performance in short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals and a broad range of structural and quenched‑and‑tempered steels. The 16.5 mm diameter with eight flutes and a 10 mm shank ensures secure clamping and efficient chip evacuation — order the cutter directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D, 16.5 mm, HSS‑Co, 8 flutes

The MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D is a right‑hand, eight‑flute milling cutter designed for slotting and light face milling of construction steels, case‑hardening and quenched‑and‑tempered steels, and short‑chipping non‑ferrous materials.

• HSS‑Co high‑speed steel for durability
• DIN 850 D, Type N geometry
• Eight flutes for efficient chip removal
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat

Durable cobalt steel for demanding machining tasks

The solid HSS‑Co cutting material combines wear resistance with predictable edge life, making it well suited to interrupted cuts and mixed‑material workshops. Thanks to the DIN 850 D Type N profile, the tool is optimised for short‑chip formation and delivers stable cutting action in both steel grades used for construction and in short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals. This results in fewer tool changes and a steadier production flow when processing small to medium batches.

Geometry and flute count that improve productivity

With a nominal diameter of 16.5 mm and 8 flutes, the cutter offers a balance between feed rate and surface finish: more flutes allow higher material removal per revolution while maintaining dimensional control. The 8 mm cutting length provides sufficient engagement for typical slotting tasks while limiting the unsupported edge to improve rigidity. The tool’s right‑hand cutting and Type N flute form reduce the risk of built‑up edge on steels that tend to form short chips, which contributes to a more consistent surface quality.

Secure clamping and machine compatibility for reliable results

The 10 mm shank with a cylindrical form and drive flat ensures positive drive transmission in standard collets and chucks, reducing slippage under higher feeds. The overall length of 56 mm keeps the tool accessible in compact setups yet long enough for simple fixtures. The combination of precise shank diameter and drive flat supports repeatable positioning and reduces run‑out, which is particularly important when producing narrow slots or when maintaining concentricity is required.

Practical workshop advantages and dependable supply

Sourcing the cutter from a specialist supplier reduces procurement risk: Metav acts as a quality filter for the European market and supports tool selection with a broad product range and established logistics. Choosing a MAYKESTAG cutter backed by a reliable distribution channel helps keep machine uptime high and ordering predictable, especially for operations that require consistent re‑stocking and verified tool specifications.

FAQ

Which materials is the cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter is suitable for construction steels, case‑hardening steels and quenched‑and‑tempered steels, as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals such as certain aluminium and brass alloys.

How does the flute count affect performance?
With eight flutes, the cutter provides higher material removal capability and improved surface finish for slotting operations while maintaining good chip packing and evacuation.

What clamping systems are compatible with the tool?
The tool’s 10 mm cylindrical shank with drive flat is compatible with standard 10 mm collets and chucks; the drive flat reduces slippage in higher feed applications.

Is the cutter coated?
No coating is specified for this cutter; the tool is manufactured from HSS‑Co to provide inherent wear resistance without an additional surface coating.

What does Type N geometry mean for everyday use?
Type N geometry, as implemented on this DIN 850 D cutter, promotes short‑chip formation and stable cutting behaviour, which helps to avoid built‑up edge and maintain consistent surface quality.
