Maykestag HSS-Co8 end mill 6mm short series DIN 844 K
Professional 6mm short-series end mill manufactured from HSS-Co8, featuring
four flutes, a 40° spiral angle and Type N geometry for general-purpose
milling, slotting and face milling applications.
The Maykestag Code 1616 is a precision HSS-Co8 end mill manufactured to DIN
844 K for professional milling applications. Its four-flute geometry and
40° spiral angle provide a balanced cutting action and efficient chip
removal during general milling operations. The short-series design provides a
compact tool configuration that supports increased rigidity and helps reduce
tool deflection. With a 6mm cutting diameter and 6mm shank, this cutter is
well suited to precision machining where controlled cutting performance and
dimensional accuracy are required.
cutter manufactured from cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel. The addition of
cobalt improves the material’s resistance to heat and wear, making HSS-Co8
suitable for demanding milling applications. End mills are used to machine
slots, shoulders, profiles, faces and other features by combining cutting
action at the end and along the circumference of the tool.
