220 Series

Tool 220m050C

Heavy cuts in aluminum generate heat at the tool-chip interface. At 5-inch cutting diameter, the peripheral speed amplifies this thermal challenge, and standard carbide surfaces can promote chip welding.

The 220m050C is a 2-flute solid carbide ball nose end mill designed for 3D profiling and contouring operations in aluminum, copper, and plastics.
The TiB₂ coating provides a low-friction surface that reduces aluminum adhesion while maintaining thermal stability during extended cuts.
Two flutes create maximum chip evacuation space around the curved ball nose geometry, preventing chip packing in complex 3D toolpaths.
The large 5-inch cutting diameter handles heavy stock removal in aluminum workpieces while the ball nose geometry maintains surface finish requirements on curved profiles.
TiB₂ coating extends tool life by minimizing built-up edge formation common in aluminum machining.
