120 Series

Tool 120i500LA

Ferrous materials generate heat that degrades uncoated tools and creates built-up edge formation.

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.
TiAlSiN coating provides thermal barrier protection at elevated cutting temperatures while maintaining sharp edge retention.
The coating's aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer that reduces crater wear during interrupted cuts.
This 0.5" diameter configuration handles moderate material removal rates in 3D profiling applications where surface finish matters more than aggressive stock removal.
