200 Series

Tool 200i500M040C

Aluminum work hardens fast under a dull edge. Corner chipping accelerates the problem. Each chip creates a stress concentration that propagates until the edge fails completely. You end up chasing tolerance while the part gets worse with every pass.

The 200i500M040C runs a 0.04" corner radius specifically to distribute cutting forces across more carbide.
Sharp corners concentrate stress at a single point, but the radius spreads that load while maintaining edge strength through demanding cuts.
TiB₂ coating adds hardness without the aluminum affinity that makes AlTiN problematic.
No coating pickup, no built-up edge formation.
Three flutes maintain feed rates while reducing chip load per tooth.
High helix geometry moves chips before they weld to the cutting edge.
Works in aluminum, copper, and plastics where chip adhesion kills surface finish.
