220 Series

Tool 220i125LC

Small diameter aluminum profiling demands precise chip evacuation. At 0.125" cutting diameter, there's minimal space for aluminum chips to clear before they start welding to the cutting edge.

The 220i125LC is a 2-flute solid carbide ball nose end mill designed for 3D profiling and contouring in aluminum, copper, and plastics.
The open flute geometry creates maximum chip clearance around the curved ball nose surface where aluminum tends to pack.
TiB₂ coating provides a hard, low-friction surface that resists aluminum adhesion while maintaining the sharp edge geometry needed for fine detail work.
Two flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation, particularly important when the entire cutting diameter is engaged during complex 3D paths.
This combination handles the thermal and adhesion challenges that typically cause premature tool failure in small diameter aluminum profiling operations.
