970 Series

Tool 970i0804B

Standard end mills won't reach into tight geometry for side slots. This keyseat cutter will.

A solid carbide tool designed for keyways and profile cuts in steel and iron where access is restricted.
The 0.125" cutting diameter handles precision work while the 0.0625" neck provides the reach needed to cut below shoulders and into confined spaces.
Six flutes give smooth finishes in these tighter engagement scenarios.
AlTiN coating adds wear resistance when cutting steel alloys.
The aluminum titanium nitride layer runs cooler than uncoated carbide and maintains edge sharpness longer in ferrous materials.
Cut width matches the neck diameter at 0.0625", so the neck geometry determines your radial engagement limits rather than the cutting diameter.
Conservative feeds work best given the neck constraint.
The coating helps maintain surface quality even at the lower cutting speeds this geometry requires.
