Tool 100m040LFA

Heavy cuts in steel generate heat. The kind that breaks down edge geometry and sends tools to the scrap bin early. The 100m040LFA addresses this with TiAlSiN coating that handles the thermal load while maintaining edge integrity through extended runs.

Four flutes keep chip load balanced across the 4" cutting diameter.
That balance matters when you're removing significant material in side milling operations on steel and iron.
Uneven loading creates hot spots, and hot spots create unpredictable wear patterns.
The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where stress concentrates, extending tool life in interrupted cuts and heavy roughing applications.
TiAlSiN coating provides thermal barrier properties that standard TiN cannot match.
In titanium and nickel alloy applications, that thermal resistance translates to consistent edge performance as cutting temperatures climb.
