Tool 961i3232B
Deep undercuts demand more ball contact than standard geometry provides. The 961i3232B extends spherical engagement to 300 degrees, accessing profile geometries that conventional ball mills cannot reach.
- The extended ball geometry creates maximum contact with curved surfaces while maintaining structural integrity through the 0.323" neck diameter.
- Four flutes balance material removal rates with chip evacuation in the confined spaces typical of undercut operations.
- AlTiN coating handles the thermal demands of steel machining while extending tool life in aluminum applications.
- The coating's aluminum oxide layer forms during cutting, creating a barrier against heat buildup that occurs during extended ball contact operations.
- This geometry works across steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where deep spherical profiles are required.
- The 300-degree contact zone provides consistent surface finish through the entire undercut profile.
