120 Series

Tool 120i500A

3D profiling and contouring demand a cutter that follows the surface without leaving a flat-bottomed step.

Ball nose geometry at 0.5" cutting diameter follows contoured surfaces without leaving flat-bottomed transitions.
The rounded tip produces smooth transitions on contoured surfaces and mold profiles.
Three flutes balance chip clearance with cutting engagement on curved geometry.
This 0.5" diameter version carries TiAlSiN coating for extended tool life in demanding applications.
The coating's aluminum content provides thermal stability during interrupted cuts typical in 3D work, while the silicon adds hardness for wear resistance against work hardening alloys.
The multilayer structure reduces friction and heat buildup when the ball nose maintains constant contact with varying surface angles.
