Tool 100i1000L030A

Most shops know the feeling when an end mill starts chattering halfway through a long run. The 100i1000L030A addresses this with four flutes that split chip load evenly, keeping cutting forces balanced across the full diameter. In steel and iron work, that balance translates to consistent surface finish from first part to last.

The TiAlSiN coating handles the heat buildup that comes with one-inch diameter cuts in tougher materials.
Aluminum content in the coating maintains hardness at elevated temperatures, while the silicon adds wear resistance during extended runs in titanium and nickel alloys.
The R0.03" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where it needs it most, reducing the micro-chipping that kills tool life in interrupted cuts.
Four flutes means more cutting edges sharing the workload.
More edges sharing the load means each one works less hard.
