Tool 100m080A

Most shops know the frustration of coating failure on heavy cuts. The coating chips, the edge follows, and what started as a production run becomes a tooling headache. The 100m080A addresses this with TiAlSiN coating applied over a geometry designed to work with it, not against it.

Four flutes keep individual chip loads manageable even at this 8" diameter.
That load management matters because TiAlSiN performs best when heat stays consistent rather than spiking with each tooth engagement.
The R0.15" corner radius supports the coating by eliminating the sharp corner where thermal shock typically initiates failure.
In steel and iron roughing operations, this combination of controlled chip load and radius geometry extends coating life by reducing the thermal cycling that causes adhesion failure.
The edge cuts longer because the coating stays put.
