Tool 170i750L060A

Steel and nickel alloys punish cutting edges, especially when you need surface finish and cycle time improvements simultaneously. The 170i1000M060A addresses this through seven-flute geometry that distributes cutting load across more edges per revolution.

TiAlSiN coating handles the thermal cycling these materials create.
The aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer at cutting temperatures while the silicon addition extends tool life in interrupted cuts.
Seven flutes maintain reasonable chip load per tooth even at aggressive table feeds.
The 0.06" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where stress concentrates most.
Sharp corners fail first in steel and titanium applications, particularly when surface footage climbs.
This radius extends edge life without compromising surface finish in contour work.
Requires rigid spindle and workholding.
Material removal rates improve when the setup can handle the cutting forces.
