960 Series

Tool 960i2418B

Standard ball nose end mills stop at the equator. The 960 Series cuts 270 degrees around the sphere.

This geometry reaches undercut profiles that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically access.
The extended ball angle cuts above the equator where internal radius features and undercut geometry live.
Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in steel and aluminum applications.
The 0.241" neck diameter provides clearance for deep pocket work while maintaining rigidity at the 0.375" cutting diameter.
AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup common in steel machining operations where cutting speeds push carbide substrates beyond their thermal limits.
The tool works in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
Profile milling operations benefit from the extended ball contact, particularly in mold and die applications where undercut features are standard requirements.
