The combination of HSS‑Co construction and 14 cutting edges delivers steady performance and extended tool life for demanding slotting tasks; the robust Ø45.5 mm diameter and cylindrical shank with drive flat ensure secure clamping and consistent results. Order the cutter via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the technical team if specialised milling parameters are required.

MAYKESTAG Slot cutter DIN 850D Type N, Ø45.5 mm, HSS‑Co

The MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850D Type N is a heavy‑duty milling tool designed for precise slotting in construction, case‑hardened and quenched‑and‑tempered steels, as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

• Robust HSS‑Co construction for long tool life
• 14 cutting edges for smooth chip control
• Ø45.5 mm diameter for wide slotting tasks
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat for secure clamping

High‑performance material for consistent cutting results

The use of HSS‑Co (cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel) provides a balance between hardness and toughness that supports higher cutting temperatures and longer tool life than standard high‑speed steels. This material choice reduces the risk of premature wear when milling medium‑strength and heat‑treated steels; as a result, machining intervals are extended and unplanned tool changes are less frequent. The cutter’s grade is optimised for short‑chipping operations, contributing to reliable surface quality and repeatable slot dimensions.

Geometry and clamping that support accuracy and stability

A Ø45.5 mm body combined with 14 cutting edges ensures even material engagement and improved chip division, which helps to avoid chatter in stable setups. The tool’s 14 mm cutting length concentrates effective cutting where required, while the 12 mm shank diameter and cylindrical shank with drive flat permit rigid clamping in common collets and toolholders. The cutter is right‑hand cutting, which corresponds to standard spindle rotation and simplifies setup. Together these features reduce vibration and support consistent dimensional tolerances in series production.

Applications across steels and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals

Designed according to DIN 850 D as Type N, the cutter is suitable for slotting and face milling of construction steels, case‑hardened components and quenched‑and‑tempered materials, as well as non‑ferrous metals that form short chips during machining. The tool’s geometry favours processes where controlled chip breaking and surface finish are required, such as slotting for keyways, machining of housings or preparing seats for secondary operations. Selection of appropriate feeds and speeds for the chosen workpiece material will further enhance life and finish.

Operational efficiency and straightforward maintenance

The tool’s specification supports productivity: a sturdy HSS‑Co body tolerates intermittent cutting and higher temperatures, while the multi‑edge configuration spreads wear over several flutes to delay regrinding. Reconditioning is practical because the core material is a recognised high‑speed grade. For workshop planning, the compact overall length and standard shank size make integration into existing tool cycles straightforward, and the robust design helps reduce spindle downtime and maintain a steady throughput in batch operations.

FAQ

What materials is this slot cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter (DIN 850D Type N, SKU 4117802243NW) is specified for construction steels, case‑hardened and quenched‑and‑tempered steels, and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

How does the HSS‑Co composition benefit milling?
HSS‑Co provides greater hot hardness and wear resistance compared with standard high‑speed steels, so the cutter maintains cutting performance and requires fewer changes under higher thermal loads.

What size of collet or holder is required for the shank?
A 12 mm collet or compatible holder is required to clamp the cylindrical shank; the drive flat improves torque transmission and reduces slippage during heavy engagement.

Is the cutter balanced for high‑speed milling?
The tool’s multi‑edge geometry and solid HSS‑Co construction support stable running in conventional slotting speeds; final balancing and allowable speeds depend on the machine spindle and clamping arrangement.

Can the cutter be reconditioned after wear?
As a solid HSS‑Co cutter, the tool can be reconditioned by reviving cutting edges where appropriate; regrinding should respect the original geometry and DIN 850 D parameters to retain performance.
