960 Series

Tool 960i1212C

Undercuts in hardened steel demand more than standard ball geometry can deliver. The 960i1212C extends cutting contact to 270 degrees around the sphere.

This geometry reaches internal radius features and undercut profiles that conventional ball nose end mills physically cannot access.
Four flutes distribute cutting forces across the extended ball contact while maintaining chip evacuation through the reduced neck diameter of 0.117 inches.
TiB₂ coating handles the thermal demands of steel machining where the extended geometry creates longer tool-to-work contact.
The coating maintains edge integrity during the sustained cutting action that 270-degree contact requires.
The tool machines steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
Undercut features that previously required multiple setups or specialized fixturing become accessible in a single operation.
