Tool construction and application limits
T-slot cutter 20.5x5.0 mm DIN 850 A, listed in catalogs as NFRh, cuts narrow grooves and slots 5.0 mm wide. The Ø20.5 mm disc cuts across its full width and enters the material radially, without axial travel.
Six straight peripheral cutting edges and cutting faces produce a slot with clean walls. All torque passes through the neck, which has no cutting edges, so feed the disc into the material only radially and without jerking.
The plunged disc leaves a slot with an arcuate bottom and a radius of 10.25 mm. Its length depends on depth: for t = 5 mm, the arc chord is l = 2√(t × (D − t)) ≈ 17.6 mm. The same cutter therefore produces slots of different lengths – controlled by plunge depth, not longitudinal feed.
Tool application range
The 5.0 mm width and Ø20.5 mm diameter do not match a Woodruff key size in DIN 6888 – this is a tool for grooves and slots: grooves for retaining rings and seals, lubrication grooves, slots for sheet metal and pins, and cutting through thin walls. Select the plunge depth to suit the required slot length, not the tool diameter – with the full disc width engaged, each additional millimeter of penetration increases cutting forces and neck loading.
Clamping: collet ER-32 with an insert for Ø10.0 mm. A drill chuck will not hold the tool with the disc fully engaged. Uncoated HSS works up to approximately 275 HB; above this, use the HSSE (HSS-Co5) version.
Conservative values by ISO 513 groups
| Workpiece material | vc [m/min] | fz [mm/tooth] | n [rpm] |
|---|---|---|---|
| P Structural steel up to 275 HB | 20–30 | 0.025–0.050 | 311–466 |
| P Quenched and tempered alloy steel | 15–25 | 0.025–0.050 | 233–388 |
| M Stainless steel 304 / 316 | 9–18 | 0.025–0.048 | 140–279 |
| K Gray cast iron | 18–30 | 0.025–0.060 | 279–466 |
| N Aluminum, brass | 25–50 | 0.025–0.065 | 388–776 |
For structural steel, use vc = 25 m/min – at a diameter of 20.5 mm, this gives 388 rpm. Calculate the feed rate from vf = fz × z × n: at fz = 0.035 mm and 6 cutting edges, the result is 81 mm/min. Chips exit through the same slot that supplies coolant, so direct the emulsion along the slot and maintain a generous flow.
Applications, clamping and cutting data
For grooves and slots 5.0 mm wide – grooves for retaining rings and seals, lubrication grooves, recesses for sheet metal, and cutting through thin walls.
collet ER-32 with an insert for Ø10.0 mm. The plain straight shank has no clamping flat, so a drill chuck is unsuitable.
No. The neck behind the disc has no cutting edges and breaks during axial entry. Feed the disc radially.
The length depends on plunge depth and disc diameter: l = 2√(t × (D − t)). At t = 5 mm and Ø20.5 mm, the result is approximately 17.6 mm.
