970 Series

Tool 970i2416B

Standard end mills can't reach into tight shoulders for side slots. The 970i2416B cuts keyways where other tools won't fit.

Eight flutes on a 0.375" cutting diameter provide smooth finishes in steel and iron applications.
The narrow 0.25" cut width creates precise slot walls while the 0.1875" neck diameter allows access into restricted geometries.
AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup that comes with interrupted cuts in ferrous materials.
The aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer at elevated temperatures.
The geometry balances cutting efficiency with the rigidity needed for side milling operations.
Conservative radial engagement keeps deflection manageable given the neck constraint.
Works well for keyways, T-slots, and profile features where part geometry limits tool access.
