Tool 960i1206B
Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees of contact. Complex undercuts require more reach.
- The 960 Series extends ball geometry to 270 degrees, accessing internal radii and undercut profiles that conventional tools cannot physically touch.
- Four flutes maintain surface finish while the extended ball angle cuts into areas where standard geometry creates air cuts or requires multiple setups.
- AlTiN coating handles the thermal load when cutting steel and aluminum at higher speeds.
- The coating's aluminum oxide layer forms during cutting, creating a barrier that extends tool life in both ferrous and non-ferrous applications.
- The 0.117" neck diameter provides clearance for deep pocket work while supporting the 0.1875" cutting diameter.
- This geometry eliminates secondary operations on complex contoured parts.
- Works in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where undercut access matters more than pure material removal rates.
