Tool 240m060C

Large aluminum plates and blocks demand tooling that can sustain aggressive material removal without breaking down. The challenge at 6-inch cutting diameter is managing the thermal load while maintaining dimensional accuracy across extended cycle times.

The 240m060C addresses this through pure geometry and coating selection.
Two flutes create maximum chip evacuation space, critical when moving serious aluminum volume.
The R0.1" corner radius distributes cutting forces across a broader edge area, extending tool life in heavy roughing operations where sharp corners would chip or wear rapidly.
TiB₂ coating provides thermal barrier properties without building up cutting edge thickness that would compromise the open flute geometry.
This matters when cycle times stretch into hours and heat becomes the primary wear mechanism.
