960 Series

Tool 960i1602C

Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees of contact. That leaves undercuts out of reach.

The 960i1602C extends ball contact to 270 degrees, accessing internal radius features and undercut profiles that conventional geometry cannot machine.
Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in the confined spaces where this tool operates.
The 0.158" neck diameter provides clearance while maintaining rigidity at the 0.25" cutting diameter.
TiB₂ coating handles the heat buildup common in undercut operations.
The coating's thermal barrier properties matter when you're cutting in spaces with limited coolant access and restricted chip flow.
Effective on steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where conventional ball nose geometry falls short.
The 270-degree contact zone eliminates secondary operations on complex internal features.
