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.
