200 Series

Tool 200i250L015C

Aluminum work hardens under the wrong cutting conditions. Push too hard or let heat build up, and the workpiece turns into a mess of torn material and built-up edge that kills your surface finish. The quarter-inch diameter makes this worse since smaller tools run higher surface speeds at reasonable RPMs.

The 200i250L015C addresses this with three flutes that distribute cutting forces while keeping individual chip loads manageable.
TiB₂ coating handles the demanding passes where uncoated tools would fail from heat buildup or adhesion.
The R0.015" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge against the impact loads that come with interrupted cuts and entry moves in aluminum stock.
High helix geometry moves chips out before they can weld to the tool face.
Works in aluminum, copper, and plastics where built-up edge formation is the primary failure mode.
