Tool 100i500Y040A

Heat buildup changes everything in longer cuts. Surface finish degrades, tool life drops, and dimensional consistency goes out the window. The 100i500Y040A addresses this through deliberate design choices that keep temperatures controlled.

TiAlSiN coating handles the thermal load that comes with extended engagement in steel and titanium.
The aluminum content in the coating creates a barrier that slows heat transfer into the substrate while maintaining lubricity at the cutting edge.
Four flutes spread the work across more cutting edges, reducing the thermal load on each one.
The R0.04" corner radius eliminates the stress concentration of a sharp corner while maintaining edge definition for clean entry and exit.
In slotting operations on steel, that radius difference keeps the edge from chipping under interrupted cuts while preserving surface finish quality.
