Tool 960i2403C
Standard ball nose end mills stop at the equator. Internal radius features with undercuts remain out of reach.
- The 960i2403C cuts through 270 degrees of sphere contact.
- This geometry accesses undercut profiles that conventional ball nose tools physically cannot machine.
- The extended ball angle reaches into internal radii where standard tools create interference.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in steel and aluminum applications.
- The 0.241" neck diameter provides clearance while maintaining rigidity at the 0.375" cutting diameter.
- TiB₂ coating handles the thermal load when cutting above the equator.
- The coating extends tool life in demanding undercut operations where conventional end mills would fail from heat buildup and premature wear.
- Most machinable metals respond well to this geometry when internal features require full radius access.
