960 Series

Tool 960i2403B

Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees of contact. The 960 Series reaches 270 degrees.

This extended spherical geometry accesses undercut profiles and internal radii that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically reach.
The additional 90 degrees of cutting surface eliminates secondary operations when machining complex internal features in steel and aluminum components.
Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in these demanding geometries.
The 0.241" neck diameter provides clearance while maintaining rigidity at the 0.375" cutting diameter.
AlTiN coating extends tool life in higher-temperature applications where steel generates significant heat during these extended-contact operations.
The 270-degree ball angle cuts where standard geometry creates interference, particularly in aerospace and medical components requiring smooth internal transitions.
