100R Series

Tool 100Rm030LFA

Heavy roughing generates heat. Heat kills tools and warps workpieces, especially when you're hogging out 3-inch cuts in steel or titanium. The 100Rm030LFA addresses this with TiAlSiN coating over solid carbide geometry designed for material removal, not surface finish.

The coating's aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer at cutting temperatures, extending tool life in the thermal cycling that comes with interrupted cuts.
Four flutes with chipbreaker geometry fragment chips before they pack or drag heat back into the cut.
The 0.1" chamfer strengthens the cutting edge against the impact loads typical in roughing operations.
This isn't a finishing tool.
It leaves a roughed surface because that's what the geometry is built for.
The goal is removing material fast without tool failure or workpiece distortion in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys.
