Tool 960i2424C
Undercut profiles don't cooperate with standard ball nose geometry. The 960 Series cuts where conventional tools hit geometric limits.
- This 0.375" diameter mill extends 270 degrees around the sphere with four flutes optimized for the extended contact zone.
- The geometry accesses internal radius features and undercut profiles that require cutting above the equator line.
- TiB₂ coating handles the thermal load when engaging these challenging geometries in steel and aluminum applications.
- The 0.241" neck diameter provides clearance for deep pocket work while maintaining rigidity at the cutting zone.
- Four flutes balance surface finish requirements with chip evacuation in the confined spaces where this geometry typically operates.
- The extended ball contact distributes cutting forces across more of the tool envelope.
- Performs in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where conventional ball nose mills cannot reach.
