970 Series

Tool 970i0801B

Standard end mills can't reach into narrow slots below shoulders. The 970i0801B cuts where others can't fit.

A solid carbide keyseat cutter designed for precision slots in steel and iron components.
The 0.125" cutting diameter handles narrow keyways while the 0.0156" cut width produces clean slot walls without deflection concerns.
Six flutes balance surface finish with chip evacuation in these confined geometries.
The 0.0625" neck diameter provides the reach needed for shouldered features while maintaining adequate rigidity for the cut width.
AlTiN coating handles the heat generation typical in steel cutting operations where coolant access is restricted.
The coating chemistry works well in the interrupted cutting conditions common to keyseat operations.
Conservative radial engagement prevents chatter when the neck becomes the limiting factor rather than cutting diameter.
