Tool 961i1210B
Tight radii and deep pockets demand maximum ball contact. The 961i1210B delivers 300 degrees of spherical engagement where standard ball mills fall short.
- The extended geometry reaches deeper undercuts than conventional profiles, maintaining tool rigidity through a 0.117" neck diameter.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in the 0.1875" cutting diameter.
- AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup common in steel applications while extending tool life in aluminum operations where built-up edge formation typically limits performance.
- The 300-degree ball angle provides continuous contact through complex three-dimensional profiles.
- This geometry keeps cutting forces distributed across more of the tool face rather than concentrated at the equator contact point of standard ball mills.
- Works effectively in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where undercut geometry access is critical.
