Tool 200i500S060C

Aluminum builds heat fast in tight corners. Sharp edges that should cut cleanly start welding chips instead, especially when detail work demands smaller tools that can't dissipate heat as effectively.

The 200i500S060C addresses this with deliberate geometry choices.
Three flutes distribute cutting load while the high helix angle moves chips out before they have time to weld to the tool.
The R0.06" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge where stress concentrates most.
Sharp corners fail first in aluminum when heat builds up during profiling operations.
TiB₂ coating adds another layer of protection against the adhesion that kills aluminum finishes.
Unlike AlTiN coatings that actually attract aluminum, TiB₂ stays chemically neutral while providing the lubricity needed for clean chip flow.
This 0.5" diameter handles aluminum, copper, and plastics where corner strength matters more than absolute sharpness.
