Tool 100i500Z040A
Most shops know the feeling. End mill starts strong, then edge quality falls off a cliff somewhere mid-run. The 100 Series builds consistency into every cut by spreading chip load across four flutes, so each edge sees the same work cycle after cycle.
- The TiAlSiN coating handles the heat buildup that comes with interrupted cuts in steel and iron.
- When you're running production volumes, that thermal barrier keeps the carbide substrate stable even when surface temperatures spike.
- The R0.04" corner radius takes stress concentration off the cutting edge during entry and exit.
- Particularly useful in slotting operations where shock loading can chip a sharp corner.
- Four flutes mean each one works a quarter as hard.
- In titanium and nickel alloys where work hardening is always a concern, that load distribution translates directly to tool life predictability.
