100C Series

Tool 100Cm050A

Heavy cuts in steel generate heat and long chips that pack flutes. The 100Cm050A addresses both with engineered geometry and a coating that stays put under thermal stress.

Chipbreaker geometry along the cutting edges fractures chips into smaller segments before they can wrap or pack the flutes.
This becomes critical in deeper axial passes or extended radial cuts where chip evacuation typically becomes problematic.
Four flutes distribute cutting forces evenly across the 5" diameter.
TiAlSiN coating maintains hardness at elevated temperatures better than standard TiAlN.
The aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer during cutting, extending tool life in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys.
Corner radius of R0.1" strengthens the cutting edge against chipping while maintaining acceptable edge sharpness for finishing operations.
