Tool 220m030LFC
Scaling up to 3" diameter ball nose operations in aluminum creates heat buildup problems. The larger cutting zone generates more friction, and standard coatings can actually trap heat against the workpiece.
- The 220m030LFC is a 3" diameter solid carbide ball nose end mill designed for heavy aluminum profiling and contouring work.
- The 2-flute geometry maintains maximum chip evacuation even at this larger scale, preventing aluminum from welding to the cutting edge during extended passes.
- TiB₂ coating provides a low-friction surface that helps chips slide away from the cutting zone rather than adhering to it.
- This coating runs cooler than conventional options, which matters when you're moving this much material in heat-sensitive aluminum alloys.
- Built for 3D profiling, surfacing, and contouring operations in aluminum, copper, and plastics where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are required.
