Tool 100i500Y060A

Most shops know the feeling. You dial in a program, run parts all day, then come back tomorrow and dimension A is suddenly three tenths off. The 100i500Y060A is built to eliminate that drift in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys.

Four flutes spread cutting forces evenly around the 0.5" diameter, which reduces deflection and vibration during extended runs.
The R0.06" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where chip evacuation is heaviest, extending tool life without sacrificing surface finish.
TiAlSiN coating adds thermal stability at higher cutting speeds.
The aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer that keeps the edge temperature controlled during interrupted cuts.
In side milling operations on steel, this combination delivers the kind of dimensional consistency that lets you walk away from the machine knowing the last part will measure like the first.
