Tool 960i3216C
Undercut profiles don't yield to conventional ball nose geometry. Standard tools can't physically reach beyond 180 degrees of contact.
- The 960i3216C extends ball contact to 270 degrees, creating access to internal radius features and undercut geometries that would otherwise require multiple setups or specialized fixturing.
- Four flutes distribute cutting loads while maintaining rigidity at the 0.323" neck diameter.
- TiB₂ coating handles the thermal cycling common in steel and aluminum applications where interrupted cuts and varying engagement create temperature spikes.
- The coating maintains edge sharpness longer in these conditions, particularly relevant when cutting undercuts where tool path direction changes frequently.
- Half-inch cutting diameter provides good surface finish capability while the extended geometry reaches areas standard ball nose end mills cannot touch.
