960 Series

Tool 960i1608C

Quarter-inch ball nose mills struggle with tight necked features. The 960i1608C addresses this with a 0.158" neck diameter that creates better clearance in restricted geometries.

The 270-degree spherical profile extends cutting contact beyond the equator.
This geometry reaches undercut surfaces and internal radii that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically access.
Four flutes balance surface finish against chip evacuation in the reduced neck section.
TiB₂ coating handles the thermal load when cutting steel and aluminum at higher surface speeds.
The coating extends tool life in interrupted cuts where the extended ball geometry sees variable engagement.
The combination works in both roughing passes where material removal matters and finishing operations where surface quality drives the process.
Suitable for steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
