Maykestag ALUNIT HSS-Co8 slot end mill with radius 6mm short series

Product information

Maykestag ALUNIT HSS-Co8 slot end mill with radius 6mm short series Professional 6mm short-series slot end mill manufactured from HSS-Co8 and coated with ALUNIT®, featuring a 3mm radius, two flutes, centre-cutting geometry and a 30° Type N normal helix for accurate contouring, profiling, slotting and general milling applications. The Maykestag Series 1057 is a precision HSS-Co8 slot end mill with a radiused cutting end, designed for machining curved profiles, rounded transitions, slots and contoured surfaces. Its centre-cutting geometry allows the cutting edges to work across the centre of the tool, making it suitable for applications where the cutter needs to enter the workpiece as well as cut laterally. The short-series construction provides increased rigidity and helps reduce tool deflection, supporting accurate machining and a consistent finish. The ALUNIT® coating provides a hard, wear-resistant cutting surface designed to reduce friction and heat load while supporting increased cutting speeds, productivity and consistent machining performance. What is a slot end mill with radius? A slot end mill with radius is a milling cutter with a rounded cutting-end profile instead of a conventional square end. This geometry allows the tool to machine curved profiles, rounded slot bottoms and smooth transitions while still performing slotting and profiling operations. The two-flute design provides useful space for chip evacuation, while the centre-cutting geometry of the Series 1057 allows the cutter to perform plunge-entry operations under suitable machining conditions. Product highlights • HSS-Co8 construction: High-cobalt high-speed steel provides excellent toughness, heat resistance and cutting-edge durability for demanding milling applications. • ALUNIT® coating: Super-hard TiAlN coating technology provides reduced friction, lower heat load and improved resistance to cutting-edge wear, supporting increased cutting speeds and productivity. • 6mm cutting diameter: Versatile cutting size for precision slotting, contouring, profiling and general milling applications. • 3mm cutting radius: Produces rounded slot profiles, curved surfaces and smooth transitions. • Short-series design: Compact construction increases rigidity and helps minimise tool deflection during machining. • Two-flute geometry: Provides generous flute space for efficient chip evacuation during slotting and milling operations. • Centre cutting: Cutting edges extend across the centre, allowing the cutter to enter the workpiece as well as perform lateral milling. • Type N geometry: Normal helix geometry designed for general-purpose milling applications. • 30° spiral angle: Balanced cutting action and effective chip removal. • WN specification: Manufactured according to the specified Maykestag works-standard geometry. • DIN 1835-B shank: Precision shank form with driving flat for secure tool holding. Why choose Maykestag? Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool manufacturer focused on precision-manufactured tools for professional machining. Controlled tool geometry, cutting materials and coating technology are essential for achieving consistent tool life, machining accuracy and superior surface finish. The Series 1057 combines HSS-Co8 tool material with ALUNIT® coating, a rigid short-series construction, two-flute centre-cutting geometry and a precisely formed radiused cutting end. This makes it a dependable choice for workshops, toolrooms and production environments requiring repeatable slotting, contouring and profiling performance.
