.055 Ball End Mill – 2 Flute

The 2-flute design clears chips way better than the 4-flute bits I used before, which kept clogging on deeper passes. The ball tip leaves a clean radius on my rounded slots and the 1/8 shank fits my trim router without any adapter.

Bought this to cut curved flutes in a small CNC project and the 1/8" shank chucked up with zero runout. The two flutes clear chips well, though you have to ease up on feed rate or the ball tip will snap.

Cut a batch of rounded slots in walnut and the 2 flutes cleared chips way better than the single flute I used before. The ball tip leaves a smooth curve with almost no sanding needed. Held its edge fine through the whole job.
