Tool 100m160A

When you're taking heavy cuts in steel with a 16mm end mill, edge chipping becomes the enemy. The 100m160A addresses this with a 0.2mm corner radius that redirects cutting forces away from the most vulnerable part of the edge.

Four flutes keep chip load consistent across the cutting diameter, which matters more as diameter increases.
In steel and iron, that consistency translates to predictable tool life and surface finish variation that stays within tolerance band to band.
The TiAlSiN coating adds a thermal barrier that becomes critical when cutting speeds push into the range where edge temperature starts affecting carbide grain structure.
The 0.2mm radius also improves surface finish in profiling operations on titanium and nickel alloys, where sharp corners tend to create built-up edge formation.
Less built-up edge means less subsequent chipping when that material breaks away.
