Tool 100i500LA

Steel work demands predictability. The same feed rate, the same surface finish, the same tool life. Shift after shift. The 100i500LA delivers that consistency through balanced geometry and strategic coating placement.

Four flutes distribute cutting forces evenly across the 0.5" diameter, reducing vibration in both roughing and finishing passes on steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys.
TiAlSiN coating adds wear resistance where heat buildup typically shortens tool life, particularly in the demanding interrupted cuts common to steel machining.
The R0.008" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge without sacrificing sharpness, extending tool life in applications where sharp corners would chip or wear prematurely.
In side milling operations on 4140 or similar materials, this combination of flute count, coating, and edge geometry maintains consistent cutting forces.
Consistent forces mean consistent results.
