Tool 961i3208C
Undercut profiles demand more ball contact than standard end mills provide. The 961 Series delivers 300 degrees of spherical engagement.
- The extended ball geometry reaches deeper into undercut surfaces where conventional tooling fails to maintain contact.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in steel and aluminum applications.
- The 0.323" neck diameter maintains rigidity while allowing access to restricted geometries.
- TiB₂ coating handles the thermal cycling that comes with interrupted cuts in these challenging profiles.
- The coating extends tool life in steel applications where heat buildup typically limits performance.
- The 0.5" cutting diameter covers mid-range profiling operations without sacrificing the geometric advantages of the 300-degree ball.
- Most machinable metals respond well to the increased contact area and balanced flute count.
