Tool 240m080C
Large diameter aluminum roughing puts thermal stress on the cutting edge. The 8mm cutting diameter generates substantial heat at typical HSM feed rates, while the workpiece often can't dissipate it fast enough. TiB₂ coating handles this by reducing friction at the tool-chip interface and maintaining hardness at elevated temperatures.
- The 240m080C pairs the standard 2-flute open geometry with a 0.1mm corner radius that distributes cutting forces over a larger contact area.
- This prevents the sharp corner chipping that kills productivity in heavy aluminum removal.
- The 7.7mm neck diameter maintains rigidity under the cutting loads that come with moving this much material per minute.
- Built for shops removing significant stock from large aluminum billets or castings where cycle time drives profitability.
- Two flutes keep chips moving when the cut gets aggressive.
