Tool 170i500M030A

Corner chipping kills productivity in interrupted cuts and harder alloys. The R0.03" corner radius on this end mill redistributes stress away from the cutting edge while maintaining sharp cutting action.

Seven flutes distribute heat and cutting forces across more contact points.
This geometry allows higher table feeds in steel, iron, titanium, and nickel alloys without overloading individual cutting edges.
The TiAlSiN coating adds thermal barrier properties and surface lubricity where temperatures climb during extended engagement with harder materials.
The 0.5" cutting diameter handles semi-finishing and finishing operations where consistent surface quality matters across the run.
Works best in rigid setups with consistent engagement patterns.
The coating performs particularly well in titanium and nickel alloys where built-up edge formation typically shortens tool life.
