960 Series

Tool 960i1202C

Standard ball nose end mills stop at the equator. The 960 Series cuts 270 degrees around the sphere.

This geometry reaches undercut profiles and internal radius features that conventional tools cannot physically access.
The extended ball angle puts cutting edges where they need to be.
Above the equator where undercuts live.
Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in the tight clearances these features require.
The 0.117" neck diameter provides clearance while maintaining rigidity at this 0.1875" cutting diameter.
TiB₂ coating handles the interrupted cuts common in undercut work, where edge retention matters more than pure speed.
The coating maintains sharpness through the varying engagement angles these complex profiles demand.
Effective in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where standard ball nose geometry falls short.
