100R Series

Tool 100Ri500L

Heavy cuts in tough alloys don't care about your timeline. The 100Ri500L handles aggressive roughing in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys. Chip control at this removal rate is what separates a completed job from burned tooling. This 4-flute solid carbide rougher uses chipbreaker geometry along the cutting edge to fracture chips before they can pack the flutes or create heat buildup that kills the tool.

The 0.5" cutting diameter with 0.008" chamfer gives you a strong cutting edge that won't chip out under load.
Uncoated carbide substrate lets you see exactly what's happening at the cut - no coating to mask wear patterns or thermal issues.
Four flutes balance material removal rate with chip evacuation in the tougher materials where this tool works.
The finish won't be pretty.
That's what the next operation handles.
