961 Series

Tool 961i0802B

Deep undercuts in tight spaces push standard ball mills past their limits. The 961 Series extends spherical contact to 300 degrees for maximum undercut access.

Four flutes at 0.125" cutting diameter balance surface finish with material removal rates in steel and titanium applications.
The 0.076" neck diameter provides clearance while maintaining rigidity for precise contouring operations.
AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup common in extended ball contact machining.
The aluminum titanium nitride layer maintains edge sharpness during the high-friction conditions that occur when more of the ball surface engages the workpiece simultaneously.
The extended ball geometry accesses profile features that require cutting well past the traditional equator limitation.
This geometry suits complex mold work, aerospace components, and any application demanding maximum spherical tool engagement.
