Tool 960i0810C
Standard ball nose end mills stop at the equator. The 960 Series cuts where others cannot reach.
- 270-degree spherical geometry accesses undercut profiles and internal radius features that conventional ball nose tools physically miss.
- The extended ball contact runs past the equator into territory that requires this specific angular approach.
- Four flutes distribute cutting loads across the 0.125" diameter while maintaining rigidity through the 0.076" neck section.
- TiB₂ coating handles the thermal cycling that comes with interrupted cuts in steel and aluminum.
- The coating stays put when cutting loads shift as the tool transitions from conventional to climb milling within the same pass.
- This geometry sees variable chip loads by design.
- The tool machines steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where standard ball nose mills leave material behind.
