Tool 170i375L030A

Half-inch end mills in tough alloys often struggle between edge durability and surface finish demands at production rates.

The 170i500M006A addresses this through seven-flute geometry that distributes cutting load across more edges per revolution.
Each tooth takes a smaller bite, reducing heat buildup while maintaining aggressive table feeds.
The TiAlSiN coating adds thermal barrier protection and extends tool life when machining steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys where heat generation becomes problematic.
Corner radius of R0.006" strengthens the cutting edge compared to sharp corners while maintaining clean entry characteristics.
This geometry works best in applications requiring high material removal rates with finish requirements.
Setup rigidity becomes critical with seven flutes engaged simultaneously.
Consistent engagement prevents chatter that can damage multiple cutting edges at once.
