240 Series

Tool 240i156C

The 240i156C is a 5/32" 2-flute end mill from the 240 Series, for high-speed machining in aluminum. Behind the 0.188" length of cut, the neck steps down to 0.1483" out to 0.500" from the tip.

  • Two flutes leave deep chip gullets, so chips clear at the feed rates and surface speeds high-speed toolpaths run.
  • Run it on trochoidal and high-efficiency toolpaths, where radial engagement stays low and spindle load stays steady.
  • The end is center cutting, so you can ramp and plunge.
  • The neck is 0.004" smaller per side than the cut, so you can reach past the 0.188" of flute without the neck rubbing the wall.
  • A 0.004" corner radius holds up better than a sharp corner and leaves a 0.004" fillet where the wall meets the floor.
  • TiB2 resists aluminum sticking to the edge, so you can run higher speeds and feeds than with an uncoated tool.
