200 Series

Tool 200i188L030C

Small diameter aluminum work gets tricky fast. Heat builds quicker, chips want to pack, and there's less tool mass to absorb the punishment. Push too hard and you're looking at chatter, poor finish, or worse.

The 200i188L030C runs a 3-16" cutting diameter with three flutes and R0.03" corner radius.
Three flutes distribute cutting forces while keeping individual chip loads manageable.
Critical when tool rigidity drops with diameter.
The corner radius strengthens the cutting edge and reduces stress concentration that would otherwise crack or chip the tool during entry.
TiB₂ coating handles the thermal load aluminum generates without the adhesion issues you get with AlTiN.
Heat dissipates better, chips release cleaner.
Works in aluminum, copper, and plastics where built-up edge kills surface finish.
