100 Series

Tool 100i500S015A

Heat buildup changes everything in production runs. The 100 Series with TiAlSiN coating manages thermal cycles better than uncoated tools, keeping edge geometry stable when cutting steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys under consistent feeds and speeds.

Four flutes distribute cutting forces evenly, reducing per-tooth load during each rotation.
The TiAlSiN barrier coating acts as thermal insulation between the carbide substrate and the workpiece material, slowing heat transfer that would otherwise accelerate crater wear on the rake face.
This thermal management becomes critical in longer production runs where accumulated heat cycles can shift dimensional tolerances.
The R0.015" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge at the intersection point where maximum stress concentrates.
Instead of a sharp corner that can chip under interrupted cuts, the radius distributes stress over a larger area.
