Tool 961i0806B
Tight undercuts demand maximum ball contact without sacrificing tool rigidity. The 961i0806B extends spherical engagement to 300 degrees.
- Four flutes distribute cutting loads across the extended ball profile while the 0.076" neck diameter maintains clearance in restricted access geometries.
- The additional 60 degrees of contact beyond standard ball mills opens deeper undercut profiles that would otherwise require multiple operations or specialized fixturing.
- AlTiN coating handles the thermal cycling common in steel and aluminum applications where interrupted cuts generate heat spikes.
- The coating maintains edge integrity during the variable engagement that characterizes complex 3D surfacing work.
- This geometry works across steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where undercut features require maximum spherical access.
- The extended ball contact reduces stepover limitations in finishing operations.
