961 Series

Tool 961i0802C

Tight undercuts demand maximum ball contact without sacrificing tool rigidity. The 961i0802C extends spherical engagement to 300 degrees while maintaining a stable 0.076" neck diameter.

The extended ball geometry reaches deeper into undercut profiles than standard ball nose designs.
Four flutes balance surface finish requirements with chip evacuation in confined spaces.
TiB₂ coating handles the thermal cycling common in interrupted cuts and complex geometries where conventional coatings fail.
This geometry works in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where profile complexity exceeds what traditional ball nose end mills can access.
The 0.125" cutting diameter provides precision in detailed work while the reinforced neck resists deflection during extended reach operations.
