100C Series

Tool 100Ci500A

Interrupted cuts and work hardening materials test edge integrity. The 100Ci500A addresses this with TiAlSiN coating that maintains hardness at elevated temperatures while resisting built-up edge formation.

Four flutes balance rigidity with chip evacuation.
The chipbreaker geometry segments chips into manageable pieces rather than long stringy waste that can rewrap around the tool or workpiece.
This becomes critical in steel and nickel alloys where chip control directly impacts surface finish and tool life.
The R0.008" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge without sacrificing sharpness.
Small enough to maintain clean entry into the cut, large enough to distribute stress away from the edge intersection.
TiAlSiN coating adds wear resistance in titanium and high-temp alloys where uncoated carbide dulls quickly.
Effective in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys where consistent performance matters more than peak speeds.
