Tool 120m160LA
3D profiling and contouring demand a cutter that follows the surface without leaving a flat-bottoned step.
- Ball nose geometry at 16" 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 16" diameter cutter carries TiAlSiN coating for extended tool life in ferrous materials.
- The coating's aluminum content provides thermal barrier properties during interrupted cuts and high-temperature operations common in titanium and nickel work.
- The silicon addition improves oxidation resistance when surface speeds generate heat buildup.
- The ball nose geometry eliminates witness marks on 3D surfaces where conventional end mills leave flat spots.
- Three flutes provide adequate chip evacuation while maintaining cutting forces during complex toolpaths.
