Tool 960i1614C
Standard ball nose end mills tap out at 180 degrees. Undercuts and internal radii become programming nightmares.
- The 960i1614C extends ball contact to 270 degrees, which means you can machine undercut profiles and internal radius features that conventional ball nose geometry cannot physically reach.
- Four flutes at 0.25" cutting diameter provide the surface finish steel and aluminum demand while maintaining reasonable feed rates.
- The TiB₂ coating handles the thermal cycling that comes with interrupted cuts in steel applications.
- Titanium diboride runs cooler than TiAlN and maintains edge integrity when the tool transitions between full engagement and air cutting during undercut operations.
- The 0.241" neck diameter keeps deflection in check during these extended reach cuts.
- Designed for steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where standard ball nose geometry leaves features unfinished.
