Tool 240m120C
Large diameter aluminum cuts expose every weakness in your tooling strategy. At 12" cutting diameter, even minor chip recutting creates heat buildup that destroys surface finish and sends tools to the scrap bin early. The 240m120C addresses this with aggressive 2-flute geometry that prioritizes evacuation over everything else.
- TiB₂ coating adds a thermal barrier without the thickness penalties of traditional coatings.
- This matters when aluminum's low melting point makes heat your primary enemy, not wear.
- The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge at high engagement while maintaining the sharp geometry aluminum demands.
- The 11.5" neck diameter keeps deflection manageable during heavy roughing operations where large-diameter tools typically struggle.
- Two flutes mean half the heat generation per revolution compared to 4-flute alternatives, extending tool life in continuous aluminum removal applications.
