Tool 220m040LFC
Heavy aluminum removal with a 4" ball nose creates heat buildup that degrades surface finish. The large contact patch generates friction that can cause workpiece distortion and premature tool wear.
- The 220m040LFC is a 4" diameter 2-flute solid carbide ball nose end mill designed for aluminum, copper, and plastics.
- The open flute geometry moves chips away from the cutting zone before they can reweld to the workpiece.
- TiB₂ coating adds a thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer into the tool body while providing lubricity at the cutting edge.
- This coating performs particularly well in aluminum applications where built-up edge formation is a concern.
- Two flutes balance surface finish quality with chip evacuation capacity.
- The large diameter makes this tool suitable for roughing operations in aerospace and automotive aluminum components where material removal rates matter.
