220 Series

Tool 220i125FC

Aluminum chips weld to cutting edges at small diameters. The reduced mass at 0.125" means less thermal capacity to manage heat, and aluminum's tendency to adhere gets worse as contact time increases.

The 220i125FC is a 0.125" diameter 2-flute solid carbide ball nose end mill designed for 3D profiling and contouring in aluminum, copper, and plastics.
The TiB₂ coating provides a low-friction surface that reduces aluminum adhesion while maintaining the sharp edge geometry needed for clean entry in soft materials.
Two flutes create maximum chip evacuation space, critical when the curved ball nose geometry changes engagement angles continuously during profiling operations.
The coating also extends tool life in plastics where built-up edge formation can degrade surface finish.
