960 Series

Tool 960i1612C

Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees. Internal undercuts require more reach.

The 960i1612C extends ball contact to 270 degrees, accessing undercut profiles and internal radius features 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 rigidity while maintaining clearance for deep pocket work.
TiB₂ coating handles the thermal cycling that comes with interrupted cuts in undercut applications.
The coating maintains hardness through temperature swings while reducing built-up edge formation in aluminum and softer steels.
Material removal stays consistent as the tool works through varying engagement angles.
Effective in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where undercut geometry is required.
The extended ball profile cuts where standard end mills cannot physically reach.
