Tool 120m040LFA

Large diameter ball nose cutters face heat buildup and premature wear when machining hardened steels and superalloys.

The 120m040LFA is a 4-inch diameter solid carbide ball nose end mill designed for steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys.
The TiAlSiN coating provides aluminum oxide formation at elevated temperatures, creating a thermal barrier that extends tool life in demanding ferrous applications.
Three flutes maintain chip evacuation while providing adequate cutting engagement across the curved profile geometry.
The rounded tip generates smooth surface transitions on complex 3D profiles and large cavity work.
This geometry eliminates flat-bottom stepping that occurs with conventional end mills on contoured surfaces.
The coating chemistry performs particularly well in interrupted cuts common to aerospace and mold making applications.
