Tool 170i500L030A

Seven flutes distribute heat and cutting forces across more edges, reducing the thermal load on each tooth during aggressive milling operations.

The 170 Series handles steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys where conventional 4-flute tools bog down or wear prematurely.
Seven cutting edges allow higher table feeds while maintaining reasonable chip loads per tooth.
The TiAlSiN coating adds thermal barrier properties and extends tool life in harder materials that generate significant heat.
Corner radius of 0.006" strengthens the cutting edge without compromising sharpness, reducing microchipping in interrupted cuts and work hardening alloys.
Best results come from rigid spindles and consistent engagement.
Variable helix geometry reduces chatter in deeper cuts.
Works well in semi-finishing and finishing operations where surface quality and feed rate both matter.
