Tool 220m050LC

5mm cutting diameters in aluminum present heat management challenges at production speeds. The large contact patch generates significant heat, and aluminum's tendency to stick becomes more pronounced as temperatures rise.

The 220m050LC is a 5mm diameter 2-flute ball nose end mill designed for large-scale aluminum contouring and profiling operations.
The TiB₂ coating provides a low-friction surface that reduces aluminum adhesion while acting as a thermal barrier during extended cuts.
Two flutes create maximum chip clearance around the curved ball nose geometry, preventing chip packing that leads to heat buildup and surface finish degradation.
This geometry works effectively in aluminum, copper, and plastics where chip evacuation directly impacts surface quality.
The coating extends tool life in production environments where consistent finishes matter more than peak cutting speeds.
