240 Series

Tool 240i375C

Aluminum swarf management becomes critical as spindle speeds climb. Conventional geometries pack chips in flute gullets, creating heat buildup that welds material to the cutting edge and destroys surface finish within minutes of operation.

The 240i375C addresses this through aggressive flute spacing and oversized gullets that maintain chip flow velocity even when material removal rates exceed 20 cubic inches per minute.
The TiB₂ coating reduces aluminum adhesion at the tool-chip interface while providing thermal barrier properties that keep cutting temperatures stable during sustained high-feed operations.
The R0.004 corner radius strengthens the cutting edge without compromising the sharp geometry needed for clean aluminum entry.
This configuration works best in modern machining centers where rapid positioning and flood coolant support continuous high-speed roughing in aluminum, copper, and engineering plastics.
