Tool 100i188LA

Most shops know the challenge with smaller end mills in steel. They cut well for the first few parts, then edge wear accelerates and surface finish starts wandering. The 100i188LA addresses this with TiAlSiN coating and a light corner radius that work together to extend consistent performance.

TiAlSiN coating handles the heat buildup that comes with smaller diameter tooling running at higher surface speeds.
The aluminum content in the coating creates a protective oxide layer during cutting, which helps maintain edge integrity through longer runs.
Four flutes keep chip load per tooth manageable even when feed rates need to stay conservative for part finish requirements.
The R0.004" corner radius removes the sharp corner that typically fails first in steel and iron applications.
In slotting and profile work, that small radius distributes cutting forces more evenly along the edge while maintaining the crisp corners your parts require.
