220 Series

Tool 220m160LC

Heavy aluminum removal at 16" diameter creates substantial heat buildup and chip adhesion challenges. The cutting forces increase exponentially with diameter, and aluminum's tendency to weld becomes more problematic as temperature rises.

The 220m160LC is a 2-flute solid carbide ball nose end mill designed for large-scale contouring and profiling in aluminum, copper, and plastics.
The open 2-flute geometry provides maximum chip evacuation space, critical when removing material at this scale.
TiB₂ coating reduces friction between the aluminum and cutting edge while providing thermal barrier properties that help maintain edge integrity during extended cuts.
The coating's low coefficient of friction prevents aluminum buildup that would otherwise degrade surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Two flutes balance cutting efficiency with chip clearance requirements specific to non-ferrous materials.
