Tool 961i3224B
Deep undercut profiles demand more than standard ball nose geometry can deliver. The 961 Series provides 300 degrees of spherical contact to reach geometry that conventional end mills cannot access.
- The extended ball engagement lets you machine complex undercuts and near-vertical walls in one setup.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in steel and aluminum applications.
- The 0.323" neck diameter maintains rigidity while providing clearance for deep cavity work.
- AlTiN coating extends tool life in higher-temperature cutting conditions common with steel machining.
- The coating's aluminum oxide layer forms at elevated temperatures, providing thermal barrier protection during extended cuts.
- The 0.5" cutting diameter handles moderate material removal rates while maintaining the precision needed for complex 3D profiles.
