Tool 100i188M030A

Small diameter work in hard materials puts every detail under stress. The 100i188M030A handles 3/16" diameter cuts in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys where precision matters more than speed.

Four flutes keep cutting forces balanced even at this diameter.
That balance becomes critical when working harder alloys where any load concentration can lead to premature wear or chatter.
The TiAlSiN coating adds a thermal barrier that lets the tool maintain its edge geometry longer in high-temperature cuts common with titanium and nickel work.
The 0.030" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where small tools are most vulnerable.
Sharp corners fail quickly under load.
This radius distributes stress while maintaining the crisp edges needed for finishing operations.
