Tool 100i1000L125A

Most shops know the drill with interrupted cuts in steel. The edge takes a beating every time it enters and exits the material. The 100i1000L125A handles those transitions better because of how the pieces work together.

TiAlSiN coating runs harder than standard TiAlN while staying chemically stable in steel and iron cutting temperatures.
Four flutes keep the cutting forces balanced as each tooth engages, which matters more in interrupted cuts where shock loading tries to chip the edge.
The R0.125" corner radius spreads cutting forces over more carbide instead of concentrating them at a sharp corner.
In profiling operations on steel forgings or titanium billets, that radius translates to longer tool life between changes.
The coating handles the heat while the radius handles the mechanical stress.
