220 Series

Tool 220m060C

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 220 Series is a 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 on this 6" diameter model creates a harder, more lubricious surface that resists aluminum buildup during extended profiling operations.
Ball nose geometry maintains consistent surface finish through complex three-dimensional paths where spindle angle changes continuously.
The coating extends tool life in production environments where frequent tool changes disrupt cycle times and part consistency.
