970 Series

Tool 970i3206C

Standard keyseat cutters chatter when you push feed rates in steel. The 970i3206C runs stable at higher speeds.

Eight flutes distribute cutting forces across more edges, reducing vibration amplitude during interrupted cuts in steel and iron.
The 0.25" neck diameter sets the rigidity limit, so the geometry balances reach with stability for slots that sit below shoulders where standard end mills cannot access.
TiB₂ coating handles the heat buildup that comes with the higher surface speeds this geometry enables.
The coating maintains edge sharpness longer in ferrous materials where built-up edge formation typically shortens tool life.
Cut width of 0.0938" produces clean slot walls when radial engagement stays conservative relative to the neck constraint.
Works in steel, iron, and similar ferrous materials where keyseat operations require both reach and surface finish control.
