960 Series

Tool 960i1210B

Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees of cutting contact. The 960i1210B reaches 270 degrees.

This extended geometry accesses undercut profiles and internal radius features that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically reach.
The additional 90 degrees of cutting surface lives above the equator, which is precisely where undercut geometries exist in complex part features.
Four flutes balance surface finish requirements with chip evacuation in the 0.1875" cutting diameter.
The 0.117" neck diameter provides clearance for deep cavity work while maintaining rigidity for steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
AlTiN coating handles the thermal demands of extended tool engagement.
When cutting above the equator generates more heat per revolution, the coating manages temperatures that would otherwise limit tool life in production runs.
