Tool 961i2412B
Deep undercuts demand more ball contact than standard profiles allow. The 961i pushes spherical engagement to 300 degrees.
- This geometry reaches profile angles that conventional ball mills cannot access.
- The extended contact area distributes cutting forces across more of the sphere, reducing point loading at the traditional equator limit.
- Four flutes balance surface finish against chip evacuation in the restricted access areas where this mill typically operates.
- AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup common in deep cavity work.
- The aluminum titanium nitride layer maintains hardness as temperatures rise during extended ball contact operations.
- The 0.241" neck diameter provides clearance for tight geometries while maintaining rigidity at the 0.375" cutting diameter.
- Steel and aluminum applications.
- Works across most machinable metals where undercut profiles require maximum spherical access.
