240 Series

Tool 240m160C

Large diameter aluminum work puts different demands on the tool. Heat buildup becomes problematic when there's more carbide mass and longer cutting edges in contact with the workpiece.

The TiB₂ coating on this 16-inch diameter end mill addresses that thermal challenge directly.
TiB₂ has lower friction coefficient than uncoated carbide, reducing heat generation at the cutting edge while providing wear resistance in extended aluminum cuts.
Two flutes maintain the chip evacuation you need even at this diameter.
The R0.1" corner radius strengthens the cutting edge compared to sharp corner tools, extending tool life in heavy aluminum removal operations without compromising surface finish.
The 15.5-inch neck diameter keeps rigidity high for the demanding cuts that justify putting a 16-inch end mill in the spindle.
Built for shops running large aluminum components where conventional tooling creates bottlenecks.
