100 Series

Tool 100m050FA

The 100m050FA is a 5mm 4-flute end mill from the 100 Series, for profiling and finishing in steel, iron, titanium and nickel alloys. The F in the part number means a reduced neck behind the flutes, so you reach 21mm from the tip, deeper than its 10mm length of cut.

Four flutes are the standard geometry for profiling and finishing in steel, and Sonic shapes the flute form to clear chips.
The end is center cutting, so you can ramp and plunge.
You clamp a 6mm shank, stiffer than a 5mm one, and get the reach from the neck.
A 0.1mm corner radius holds up better than a sharp corner and leaves a 0.1mm fillet where the wall meets the floor.
The TiAlSiN coating is built for heat: it holds up to 1000°C and its low-friction surface cuts down wear.
