Tool 961i3224C
Tight necks limit access on complex undercuts. The 961i3224C reaches where standard ball mills cannot.
- 300-degree ball contact extends usable geometry well past the equator, accessing deeper undercut profiles than conventional designs allow.
- The 0.323" neck diameter maintains rigidity while maximizing clearance in restricted areas.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation across steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals.
- TiB₂ coating addresses the thermal challenges of extended ball contact.
- The coating's low friction coefficient reduces heat buildup during the prolonged material engagement that 300-degree geometry creates.
- This thermal management becomes critical when the extended contact zone generates more heat per revolution than standard ball nose operations.
- The half-inch cutting diameter provides substantial material removal capacity while the geometry maintains access to complex three-dimensional profiles.
