100 Series

Tool 100i500L040A

Most shops know the feeling. You dial in a program, run a few parts, then watch the finish slowly degrade as the tool wears. The 100 Series cuts that variation down by distributing load evenly across four flutes.

In steel and iron, that even distribution keeps each cutting edge from overworking.
TiAlSiN coating adds another layer of consistency.
The aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer at cutting temperatures, while the silicon component maintains hardness under heat.
The R0.04" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where it matters most, reducing the stress concentration that leads to chipping on interrupted cuts.
Four flutes also mean higher feed rates in side milling operations on titanium and nickel alloys.
More cutting edges sharing the load translates to steadier cutting forces and better surface finish across the entire run.
