Tool 970i1204C
Thin wall sections around keyways crack when you push feed rates. This one won't let you.
- A solid carbide keyseat cutter designed for aluminum and non-ferrous applications where cut quality matters more than cycle time.
- Six flutes distribute cutting forces across more edges, reducing the load per tooth and minimizing deflection in the 0.0938" neck.
- The TiB₂ coating handles the heat buildup that comes with interrupted cuts in ferrous materials.
- Titanium diboride stays harder at temperature than uncoated carbide.
- Cut width of 0.0625" produces clean slot walls without the chatter you get from aggressive radial engagement.
- The geometry keeps cutting forces predictable, which matters when your neck diameter is barely half your cutting diameter.
- Good for keyways, side slots, and profile work where part access is tight.
