Tool 960i3216B
Undercut profiles stop most ball nose end mills cold. The 960i3216B cuts where others cannot reach.
- The 270-degree spherical geometry extends contact well beyond the equator, accessing internal radius features and undercut geometries that conventional ball nose tools physically cannot machine.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in steel and titanium applications.
- AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup that comes with extended tool engagement.
- The extra contact area generates more cutting forces and thermal load than standard ball nose operations.
- The coating maintains edge integrity through these demanding cuts.
- The 0.323" neck diameter provides clearance for deep pocket work while maintaining rigidity at the 0.5" cutting diameter.
- This tool machines steel, titanium, and most machinable metals where undercut access matters more than pure speed.
