100 Series

Tool 100i500X015A

Steel work means heat buildup. The challenge isn't making one good part. It's making the hundredth part look like the first. The 100 Series handles that challenge by managing thermal stress where it starts: at the cutting edge.

TiAlSiN coating creates a thermal barrier between the carbide substrate and the workpiece.
In steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys, that barrier keeps cutting temperatures from spiking into the range where edge degradation accelerates.
The R0.015" corner radius distributes stress away from sharp corner intersections, extending edge life in interrupted cuts and rough stock conditions.
Four flutes maintain even chip load distribution across the 0.5" cutting diameter.
Each flute sees the same thermal cycle, the same mechanical load.
That consistency translates directly to predictable tool wear patterns and stable surface finishes through production runs.
