970 Series

Tool 970i3204B

Standard end mills can't reach into slots below shoulders. The 970i3204B can.

Eight flutes on a half-inch cutting diameter deliver surface finish control in steel and iron applications.
The 0.0625-inch cut width produces narrow keyways while the 0.25-inch neck diameter provides the reach needed for recessed features.
More flutes mean lighter chip loads per tooth, which matters when the neck geometry limits how aggressively you can engage the material.
AlTiN coating handles the heat buildup that comes with confined cutting in ferrous materials.
The aluminum content in the coating maintains hardness as temperatures climb during slotting operations.
Cut width stays consistent because the coating thickness is controlled during application.
Conservative feeds work best since the neck diameter governs rigidity, not the cutting diameter.
