100 Series

Tool 100m050LA

Heavy roughing cuts in steel generate heat. The kind that shortens tool life and sends you back to the tool crib more often than you'd like. The 100 Series with TiAlSiN coating handles that thermal load by creating a barrier between the cutting edge and the workpiece.

TiAlSiN maintains hardness at elevated temperatures better than uncoated carbide.
In roughing operations on steel and iron, that thermal stability translates to longer runs between tool changes.
Four flutes spread the cutting forces across multiple edges, reducing the load on each individual flute during heavy material removal.
The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge at the most vulnerable point.
Sharp corners chip under load.
A small radius distributes stress and extends edge life in interrupted cuts and rough stock conditions.
