Tool 220i750LC

3D profiling in aluminum has a specific chip control problem. The curved contact surface changes engagement constantly, and aluminum tends to weld to the edge.

The 220i750LC is a 0.75" diameter 2-flute solid carbide ball nose end mill for contouring and profiling in aluminum, copper, and plastics.
Two flutes maximize chip clearance at the cutting zone, giving aluminum chips room to exit before adhesion becomes a factor.
The TiB₂ coating adds hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge.
This combination helps prevent the built-up edge formation that degrades surface finish in aluminum profiling operations.
The ball nose geometry maintains consistent cutting forces through directional changes typical in 3D machining.
Clean chip evacuation becomes critical when tool path direction shifts constantly during contouring passes.
