Tool 960i2406C
Standard ball nose end mills quit at 180 degrees of sphere contact. The 960 Series cuts through 270 degrees.
- This geometry reaches undercut profiles and internal radius features that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically access.
- The extended ball contact wraps around the equator to machine true undercuts without repositioning the workpiece.
- Four flutes balance chip evacuation with surface finish in both steel and aluminum applications.
- The 0.241" neck diameter provides clearance for deep pocket work while maintaining rigidity at the 0.375" cutting diameter.
- TiB₂ coating adds wear resistance and extends tool life in production environments where heat buildup typically shortens cutting tool performance.
- The coating maintains sharp cutting edges longer across steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
