Tool 100i188LFA

Small diameter work leaves little room for error. The 100i188LFA addresses this with four flutes that keep chip evacuation controlled even in tight spaces. When you're running 3/16" cuts in steel or titanium, that extra flute contact helps maintain consistent surface finish where two or three flute tools might chatter.

The TiAlSiN coating handles the heat buildup that comes with smaller tool diameters.
Heat concentration increases as diameter decreases, and this coating extends tool life by managing those thermal spikes during interrupted cuts in nickel alloys and harder steels.
Corner radius at R0.004" strengthens the cutting edge without compromising detail work.
Sharp enough for precision profiling, radiused enough to resist chipping when you hit an inclusion or scale.
Four flutes distribute that edge stress evenly across each rotation.
