Tool 960i2432C
Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees. Undercut profiles demand more.
- The 960 Series cuts with 270 degrees of spherical contact, reaching internal radius features and undercut geometries that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically access.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in steel and aluminum applications.
- The 0.241" necked shank provides clearance for deep pocket work while maintaining rigidity at the cutting zone.
- TiB₂ coating adds hardness and thermal stability during extended cuts in work-hardening materials.
- The coating resists built-up edge formation that typically occurs when cutting sticky aluminum alloys or when heat buildup becomes problematic in steel operations.
- Tool life extends measurably in interrupted cuts where standard uncoated tools typically fail from thermal cycling.
