Tool 960i1602B
Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees of contact. The 960 Series extends to 270 degrees.
- This geometry reaches undercut profiles and internal radius features that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically access.
- The extended ball angle cuts well above the equator where undercut geometry exists.
- Four flutes provide balanced chip evacuation in the confined spaces these operations typically require.
- The 0.158" neck diameter offers clearance for tight internal features while maintaining rigidity at the 0.25" cutting diameter.
- AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup common in steel applications where undercutting operations often run at reduced speeds due to access constraints.
- Works in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
- The tool addresses both roughing and finishing operations in mold work, aerospace components, and medical device manufacturing.
