Tool 200i250X030C

Aluminum loves to weld itself to sharp corners. The sharper the edge, the more likely you get built-up edge formation that turns your surface finish into a mess. Quarter-inch work amplifies this problem because smaller tools run faster, generating more heat per unit of cutting edge.

The 200i250X030C addresses this with a 0.030" corner radius that distributes cutting forces across a broader contact patch.
Three flutes maintain reasonable feed rates while keeping individual chip loads manageable.
The combination that prevents adhesion before it starts.
TiB₂ coating adds wear resistance for demanding passes without the aluminum affinity issues you get with AlTiN coatings.
High helix geometry moves chips out fast.
Corner radius prevents edge chipping and extends tool life in interrupted cuts.
