Slot milling cutter DIN 850 D Type N, Ø 28.5 mm (HSS‑Co) by ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG

The Slot milling cutter DIN 850 D Type N is a purpose-built cutter for precise slotting in construction, case‑hardened and quenched‑and‑tempered steels as well as for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

• HSS‑Co high-speed cobalt steel
• DIN 850 D, Type N geometry
• Ø 28.5 mm with 12 cutting edges
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat, right‑hand cut

Consistent performance from high‑alloy tool steel

Made from HSS‑Co, this slot cutter delivers elevated red hardness and improved wear resistance compared with standard high‑speed steels. The alloyed cobalt content supports sustained cutting temperatures and extends tool life in intermittent or heavy cuts, which translates into fewer tool changes and less downtime on the shop floor. For workflows that prioritise predictable tool life and repeatable results, the HSS‑Co composition offers a clear operational advantage.

Geometry engineered for accurate slotting and chip control

The DIN 850 D Type N geometry with twelve cutting edges ensures uniform material removal and good surface finish with short‑chip materials. The multi‑flute configuration reduces the load per tooth and supports higher feed rates where chip evacuation is straightforward, improving productivity without compromising dimensional accuracy. For machinists focused on cycle‑time reductions, the cutter’s profile provides a balance between rapid material removal and consistent slot quality.

Secure clamping and stable run‑out for tight tolerances

Featuring a 12 mm cylindrical shank with a drive flat, the tool is designed for reliable clamping in standard toolholders and collets. The solid shank diameter and drive flat contribute to low run‑out and improved concentricity, which is essential when producing slots with narrow tolerances. Stable mounting reduces vibration and risk of chatter, resulting in better edge integrity and fewer rework cycles in production environments.

Practical applications and workshop advantages

This slot cutter is suitable for general workshop and industrial use where short‑chip non‑ferrous metals and a range of steel grades are encountered. Its right‑hand cutting direction and compact 12 mm cutting length make it appropriate for controlled slot depths and interrupted cuts commonly found in fixture and component manufacture. For procurement managers and shop foremen seeking a robust, all‑round cutter that minimises setup changes, the combination of material compatibility and standard shank dimensions supports flexible deployment across machine types.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this slot cutter?
The slot milling cutter is suitable for construction steels, case‑hardened and quenched‑and‑tempered steels, and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals as indicated in the technical description.

What are the key dimensional specifications to check before ordering?
Verify diameter (28.5 mm), cutting length (12 mm), overall length (71 mm) and shank diameter (12 mm); the SKU is 4117802240NW for exact identification.

Is this cutter compatible with standard collets and toolholders?
Yes. The cylindrical 12 mm shank with drive flat is compatible with common collets and holders, offering secure clamping and reduced run‑out.

How does the HSS‑Co material affect tool life compared with standard HSS?
HSS‑Co provides higher hot‑hardness and improved wear resistance, which typically results in longer life under elevated cutting temperatures and in interrupted cutting conditions.
