240 Series

Tool 240m080C

Large diameter aluminum roughing puts thermal stress on the cutting edge. The 8-inch 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 0.1-inch 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 7.7-inch 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.
