Tool 961i3248B
Standard ball nose mills limit your undercut geometry. The 961i profiles 300 degrees of the ball surface.
- Maximum spherical engagement reaches deeper undercut profiles than conventional ball mills.
- The extended contact area accesses geometry that standard mills cannot reach, particularly in complex 3D surfaces and mold work.
- Four flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in steel and aluminum applications.
- The 0.323" neck diameter maintains rigidity while clearing the extended ball geometry during deep profiling operations.
- AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup that occurs during extended ball contact machining.
- The aluminum titanium nitride forms a barrier against thermal cycling while maintaining edge sharpness through interrupted cuts in ferrous materials.
- Half-inch cutting diameter suits mid-range profiling work where surface quality matters.
- The coating extends tool life in production environments where frequent tool changes disrupt cycle times.
