970 Series

Tool 970i2408C

Standard end mills can't reach side slots below shoulders. The 970i2408C cuts where others can't.

An 8-flute keyseat cutter designed for steel and iron applications requiring precision side slots and keyways.
The 0.375" cutting diameter paired with 0.125" cut width delivers clean slot walls in confined geometries.
Eight flutes distribute cutting forces across more edges, reducing vibration during interrupted cuts in ferrous materials.
TiB₂ coating handles the heat and wear from steel cutting better than uncoated carbide.
The titanium diboride layer maintains sharp edges longer when slotting through work hardening alloys.
Neck diameter of 0.1875" provides the rigidity needed for radial engagement while clearing part features that block standard tooling access.
Conservative feed rates work best since the neck geometry is the limiting factor for deflection control.
