1.8mm Metric Ball End Mill

For detailed contour work on small parts, the ball shape on this 1.8mm end mill gives a much smoother finish than my previous flat-tipped bits. The cut is precise and leaves almost no burr, which saves me a ton of clean-up time on my latest project.

I was pleasantly surprised by how cleanly this bit cuts into aluminum for small radius details; that ball tip really grabs without chattering.

Bought this for a small contouring job on my mill and the ball tip geometry handled the rounded groove flawlessly right out of the box. The 1.8mm size is perfect for getting into tight spots, though I did have to check the runout before it cut clean—worth it for the finish.
