Tool 200i1000M125C

Aluminum punishes the wrong tool fast. Chip welding, built-up edge, a finish that looks like the tool dragged instead of cut. If you've seen it, the setup wasn't right. Usually it starts with the cutter.

The 200i1000M125C is a 3-flute solid carbide end mill built specifically for aluminum, copper, and plastics.
Three flutes keep chip load lower per tooth while maintaining feed rate.
That's the actual mechanism behind built-up edge prevention, the mechanism, not a geometry preference.
High helix promotes chip evacuation before heat or adhesion becomes a factor.
TiB₂ coating handles demanding passes where uncoated carbide would struggle with work hardening or heat buildup.
The R0.125" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge and reduces stress concentration during heavy stock removal.
Corner radius also improves surface finish on profiling operations.
