200 Series

Tool 200m050LC

Large diameter aluminum work separates the prepared from the hopeful. More cutting edge means more heat generation, more opportunity for built-up edge, and when things go wrong at 5 inches of cutting diameter, they go wrong in a hurry.

The 200m050LC handles demanding aluminum passes where standard geometry fails.
TiB₂ coating reduces friction and heat buildup without the aluminum adhesion issues that plague AlTiN-coated tools.
Three flutes distribute cutting forces while maintaining reasonable chip loads even at this diameter.
The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge against chipping while leaving a cleaner surface finish than sharp corners manage under heavy cuts.
High helix geometry moves chips away from the cutting zone before thermal cycling can start the welding process that kills surface finish.
