Tool 960i3232B
Standard ball nose end mills stop at the equator. The 960 Series cuts 270 degrees around the sphere.
- This geometry reaches undercut profiles and internal radius features that conventional ball nose tools cannot physically access.
- The extended cutting surface operates above the equator where undercuts exist.
- Four flutes provide balanced chip evacuation while maintaining rigidity in the 0.323" neck diameter.
- AlTiN coating handles the heat generated during extended tool engagement in steel and aluminum operations.
- The aluminum titanium nitride forms a barrier that maintains edge sharpness when cutting temperatures rise during these deeper, longer cuts.
- The 0.5" cutting diameter handles general profiling work while the 270-degree capability opens up part geometries that previously required multiple setups or specialized fixtures.
