Tool 100m050LFA

Heavy cuts in steel generate heat. The kind that breaks down edges and creates the inconsistent finishes that send parts to scrap. The 100m050LFA addresses this with TiAlSiN coating. A hard, heat-resistant layer that maintains sharpness when cutting temperatures climb.

Four flutes keep chip load balanced across the 5" cutting diameter.
In large profiling and shoulder milling operations, that balance prevents the uneven wear patterns that show up as surface variation on finished parts.
The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where it contacts the workpiece, reducing the micro-chipping that leads to premature tool failure in interrupted cuts.
TiAlSiN coating works particularly well in titanium and nickel alloys where work hardening is a concern.
The coating maintains its hardness at elevated temperatures, allowing consistent cutting action even when material properties change during the cut.
