Tool 100i1000S030A

Heat buildup changes everything in a cut. Surface finish degrades, tool life drops, and dimensional accuracy starts to drift. The 100i1000S030A addresses thermal management through coating chemistry and edge geometry working together.

TiAlSiN coating handles the thermal load that comes with interrupted cuts in steel and iron.
The aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer at cutting temperatures, while the silicon component maintains hardness as heat increases.
Four flutes spread the thermal cycling across more cutting edges, preventing any single edge from absorbing excessive heat during entry and exit.
The 0.03" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge at the most vulnerable point.
Sharp corners concentrate stress and heat, leading to premature chipping in harder steels and titanium alloys.
A controlled radius distributes those forces over a larger area while maintaining acceptable surface finish in profiling operations.
