Ball End Single End Center Cutting Cobalt End Mills
Ball end mills are used for drilling shallow holes, slotting a channel where a flat bottom is not required or most commonly used to produce multi-dimensional contours in molds or dies. Cobalt tools retain hardness at elevated temperatures.
- Full radius cutting action
- Avoids sharp machined corners
- Cobalt resists abrasion and premature wear
- Retains cutting edge at higher speed
Four or more fluted ball nose end mills have less chip evacuation due to their design but with multiple cutting edges they can produce very smooth finish by running lighter chip loads, without sacrificing a high rate of production. Cobalt ball end mills are suitable for milling abrasive high strength alloys
