Tool 200i500S030C
Aluminum work hardens under pressure, and sharp corners concentrate stress right where you don't want it. Push too hard on a sharp edge and you get microchipping, then catastrophic failure, then a ruined part and wasted setup time.
- The 200 Series puts a 0.03" corner radius on each cutting edge to distribute cutting forces across a broader contact patch.
- Three flutes maintain your feed rates while keeping individual chip loads manageable.
- That balance prevents the heat buildup that leads to built-up edge formation.
- TiB₂ coating adds wear resistance for demanding aluminum passes without the adhesion issues you get from AlTiN coatings.
- Half-inch cutting diameter handles substantial material removal in aluminum, copper, and plastics.
- The geometry works because chip evacuation happens before heat accumulation becomes your limiting factor.
