MAYKESTAG HSS-Co8 Slot End Mill 5mm Short Series 2 Flute Centre Cutting DIN 327 D

Maykestag HSS-Co8 Slot End Mill 5mm Short Series

Professional 5mm short-series slot end mill manufactured from HSS-Co8, featuring two flutes, centre-cutting geometry and a Type N normal helix for accurate slotting, profiling and general milling applications.

The Maykestag Code 1026 is a precision milling cutter designed for machining slots, grooves, profiles and other general milling operations. Unlike a non-centre-cutting end mill, 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 increases rigidity and helps reduce tool deflection, supporting accurate machining and a consistent finish.

Product highlights

• HSS-Co8 construction: High-performance cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel provides excellent toughness, heat resistance and cutting-edge durability.
• Short-series design: The compact cutting length increases tool rigidity and helps minimise deflection during machining.
• Two-flute geometry: Provides generous chip space and 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 across suitable materials.
• 30° spiral angle: Provides a balanced cutting action and effective chip removal.
• DIN 327 D: Manufactured to the dimensional and geometrical requirements of the recognised end-mill standard.
• DIN 1835-B shank: Precision shank form with a driving flat for secure tool holding in suitable systems.

Designed for Accurate Milling

The combination of two cutting edges and a 30° Type N helix provides a versatile cutting geometry for general milling work. The large flute spaces assist with chip clearance, while the short overall cutting section gives the cutter additional rigidity compared with longer-series tools. When used with the correct cutting speed, feed rate and machining conditions, this geometry is designed to deliver controlled cutting, good dimensional accuracy and dependable tool life.
