200 Series

Tool 200i156M030C

Small diameter tools in aluminum break the rules. Feed rates drop, heat builds up, and suddenly you're nursing a tool through light cuts when production demands more. The geometry has to work harder when there's less mass to absorb cutting forces.

The 200i156M030C handles this with three flutes that distribute load while maintaining chip evacuation in tight spaces.
TiB₂ coating reduces friction and heat buildup without the aluminum welding issues that AlTiN creates.
The 0.03" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge against chipping while extending tool life in interrupted cuts.
At 0.1563" cutting diameter, this end mill maintains aggressive parameters in aluminum, copper, and plastics where standard geometries typically fail.
The high helix keeps chips moving before they can weld or pack.
