200 Series

Tool 200i375S030C

Corner radius gets overlooked until you're chasing down edge chipping mid-run. Sharp corners concentrate stress, and aluminum's abrasive nature finds every weak point. The workpiece looks clean until you hit interrupted cuts or push feed rates past conservative settings.

The 200i375S030C carries a 0.03" corner radius specifically to distribute cutting forces across more carbide.
Three flutes maintain reasonable chip loads while supporting higher metal removal rates than 2-flute geometry allows.
The radius extends tool life in both continuous and interrupted aluminum cuts by reducing peak stress at the cutting edge.
TiB₂ coating handles the thermal cycling that comes with aggressive aluminum machining.
The coating stays chemically inert with aluminum, preventing the adhesion issues you get with AlTiN-based coatings.
Works equally well in copper and plastics where built-up edge formation kills surface finish.
