100 Series

Tool 100i500L015A

Most shops know the feeling: fresh edge cuts great, then wear accelerates faster than expected. The 100 Series addresses this with geometry designed for predictable wear progression rather than aggressive initial performance.

Four flutes distribute cutting forces evenly, reducing the load spikes that create uneven wear patterns in steel and iron work.
The R0.015" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge at the most vulnerable point where chip formation begins.
TiAlSiN coating adds thermal barrier protection during the heat buildup that comes with interrupted cuts in titanium and nickel alloys.
In side milling operations, this combination maintains consistent surface finish as the tool ages.
The edge doesn't suddenly fall off a performance cliff.
It degrades gradually, giving you predictable tool life estimates for production planning.
