Tool 960i2406B
Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees. Internal radius features with undercuts require a different approach.
- The 960 Series extends spherical contact to 270 degrees, allowing access to undercut geometries that conventional ball nose tools cannot reach.
- Four flutes provide balanced material removal rates while maintaining surface finish control across steel and titanium applications.
- AlTiN coating addresses the thermal demands of these extended-reach operations.
- The aluminum titanium nitride layer handles the heat buildup that occurs when cutting in confined spaces where chip evacuation becomes restrictive.
- The 0.241" neck diameter balances tool strength with clearance requirements for deep pocket work.
- This geometry combination handles both roughing passes in titanium and finishing operations in steel alloys where undercut profiles are specified.
- The extended ball angle eliminates secondary operations that would otherwise require specialized fixturing or alternative machining strategies.
