Tool 200m030LFC
Large diameter aluminum work separates the prepared from the wishful. At 3 inches cutting diameter, heat buildup and chip management become primary concerns, not secondary ones. Surface footage climbs fast, and aluminum's tendency toward built-up edge gets amplified.
- The 200m030LFC runs three flutes at high helix to maintain reasonable chip loads while evacuating material before thermal issues develop.
- TiB₂ coating handles the demanding passes where uncoated tools start to struggle.
- It resists the adhesion that kills aluminum finishes without the reactivity problems of aluminum-titanium coatings.
- The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge against the higher forces that come with this cutting diameter while improving surface finish on profiling operations.
- This is aluminum work at scale, where setup details matter.
