200 Series

Tool 200i500Y060C

Aluminum sticks to sharp corners. Push a standard square end mill through 6061 and watch the corner radius develop naturally. Along with chatter, poor finish, and eventual tool failure. The geometry isn't working with the material properties.

The 200i500Y060C addresses this with an intentional R0.06" corner radius that distributes cutting forces more evenly across the edge.
Reduces point loading where aluminum typically builds up and welds.
Three flutes maintain surface finish while keeping individual chip loads manageable.
Each tooth cuts less material per revolution, generating less heat per engagement.
TiB₂ coating adds wear resistance for longer runs in demanding aluminum applications.
The coating stays inert with aluminum, unlike AlTiN which can promote adhesion.
High helix geometry evacuates chips before they reheat and stick.
