Tool 960i1610B
Standard ball nose end mills stop at the equator. Internal undercuts become impossible.
- The 960 Series extends ball contact to 270 degrees, reaching profiles that conventional geometry cannot access.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with material removal rates in the quarter-inch cutting diameter.
- The 0.158" neck diameter provides clearance while maintaining rigidity for reaching into confined spaces.
- AlTiN coating handles the thermal cycling that comes with steel work.
- The aluminum titanium nitride barrier maintains edge sharpness longer when cutting interrupted surfaces and varying depths typical in undercut machining.
- Heat dissipation improves when the coating can shed thermal load rather than transfer it to the substrate.
- Steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
- Particularly effective where internal radii meet vertical walls or where conventional ball nose geometry creates tool interference.
