Tool 200i500L015C
Heat buildup kills aluminum cuts before the tool shows visible wear. The workpiece smears, chips weld to the flutes, and what should be a clean finish turns into a mess that requires secondary operations.
- The 200 Series uses three flutes to balance feed rate with chip load management.
- Fewer chips per tooth means less heat generation at the cutting edge, which directly prevents the adhesion that creates built-up edge.
- The high helix angle moves chips away from the cut zone before they can reweld to either the tool or workpiece.
- This half-inch version carries a TiB₂ coating for demanding aluminum work where uncoated tools bog down.
- The R0.015 corner radius strengthens the cutting edge without compromising the sharp geometry aluminum requires.
- Works effectively in copper and plastics using similar mechanisms.
