Tool 100i500S030A

Heat buildup kills tools faster than dull edges. The TiAlSiN coating on this half-inch end mill handles the thermal cycling that comes with interrupted cuts in steel and iron. That aluminum content in the coating pulls heat away from the cutting edge more effectively than standard TiN, which matters when you're running production quantities.

Four flutes keep chip load consistent across the cut.
The 0.030" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge without sacrificing surface finish.
Small enough to hold tight tolerances in slotting operations, large enough to prevent chipping when the workpiece has scale or inclusions.
Steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys respond well to the even engagement pattern.
Less heat per tooth means more consistent wear rates.
More consistent wear rates mean the dimensions stay put longer.
