Tool 240i500C

Aluminum chips turn into heat sinks when they stick around too long. The 240i500C addresses this with aggressive chip evacuation geometry that keeps material moving away from the cut zone rather than re-cutting and work hardening.

  • The TiB₂ coating provides additional thermal barrier protection during extended runs in aluminum, copper, and plastics where heat buildup typically limits tool life.
  • Two flutes create the chip space needed for high-speed operations while maintaining enough tool rigidity for reliable performance in production environments.
  • The R0.004" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge against micro-chipping while preserving the sharp cutting action aluminum machining requires.
  • This geometry works particularly well in applications where surface finish matters and tool changes interrupt throughput.
  • Built for high-speed aluminum operations where chip management drives cycle time.
