200 Series

Tool 200m030C

Aluminum punishes the wrong tool fast. Chip welding, built-up edge, a finish that looks like the tool dragged instead of cut. If you've seen it, the setup wasn't right. Usually it starts with the cutter.

The 200 Series is a 3-flute solid carbide end mill built specifically for aluminum, copper, and plastics.
Three flutes keep chip load lower per tooth while maintaining feed rate.
That's the actual mechanism behind built-up edge prevention, the mechanism, not a geometry preference.
High helix promotes chip evacuation before heat or adhesion becomes a factor.
This 3" diameter variant carries TiB₂ coating for demanding passes where stock removal rates push thermal limits.
The R0.1" corner radius distributes cutting forces across more edge length, extending tool life in heavy cuts while maintaining surface integrity.
