Tool 100i500X040A

Half-inch end mills see heavy use in production environments. The 100i500X040A handles that workload in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys without the performance dropoff that comes from heat buildup and premature wear.

Four flutes keep chip load distributed evenly, which matters most when you're running longer cycles or higher removal rates.
TiAlSiN coating adds a thermal barrier that lets the tool maintain edge integrity when cutting temperatures climb.
The coating also reduces built-up edge formation on steel.
Particularly useful in slotting operations where chip evacuation isn't perfect.
The 0.04" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge at the most vulnerable point.
Sharp corners fail first under interrupted cuts, but this radius gives enough support to handle entry and exit shock without sacrificing surface finish quality.
Ground in-house on 5-axis CNC equipment.
Solid carbide.
