Tool 960i3248C
Standard ball nose end mills stop at 180 degrees. Undercuts stay out of reach.
- The 960 Series extends ball contact to 270 degrees, accessing internal radius features and undercut profiles that conventional geometry cannot machine.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with material removal rates in steel and aluminum applications.
- TiB₂ coating addresses the thermal cycling that occurs when cutting interrupted surfaces and varying engagement angles.
- The coating maintains edge integrity through temperature fluctuations common in undercut operations where conventional cooling access is limited.
- The 0.323" neck diameter provides clearance for deep pocket work while maintaining rigidity at the 0.5" cutting diameter.
- Ball geometry eliminates witness marks in complex 3D profiling operations where tool path transitions would otherwise leave surface artifacts.
