Tool 100i625A

Heat buildup kills consistency before wear does. The 100i625A addresses this with TiAlSiN coating that handles the thermal cycling you get in interrupted cuts on steel and iron. When you're running production parts and the spindle stops between cycles, edge temperature swings are what create the micro-chipping that turns a predictable tool life into a guessing game.

Four flutes keep chip load distributed evenly across the 0.625" cutting diameter.
The coating's aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer at cutting temperature, while the silicon addition extends that protection into higher heat ranges typical in titanium and nickel alloy work.
An R0.008" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge without compromising corner definition on profiled parts.
The geometry stays sharp longer because the coating manages heat as well as wear.
Solid carbide.
