200 Series

Tool 200m030FC

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 cutter carries TiB₂ coating for demanding passes where surface speed climbs and heat becomes unavoidable.
The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge while reducing stress concentration at the corner.
Useful when stepping up to heavy cuts or interrupted surfaces.
