Tool 240i188C

Quarter-inch toolpaths in aluminum demand clearance geometry that conventional end mills cannot provide. Standard flute spacing creates chip packing at the speeds required for efficient material removal, leading to heat buildup and premature tool failure.

  • The 240i188C addresses this with aggressive two-flute spacing optimized for high-speed aluminum work.
  • TiB₂ coating reduces adhesion tendencies common with aluminum while maintaining the sharp edge geometry needed for clean cuts.
  • The 0.004" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge without compromising surface finish in fine detail work.
  • At 0.1483" neck diameter, the tool maintains rigidity while providing clearance for complex geometries.
  • Two flutes handle chip evacuation at feed rates where four-flute tools would pack.
  • Designed for aluminum, copper, and plastics where chip control determines cycle time.
