What is a Ball Nose End Mill?

Ball nose end mills, also known as full radius end mills or ball mills, are cutting tools where the nose radius is equal to half of the diameter of the tool. This creates a constant single radius (or ball) at the tool end with no straight edge (sharp corners) in the profile. They are used for contour milling, shallow slotting, pocketing and contouring applications. Ball nose mills are ideal for 3D contouring because they are less prone to chipping and leave a nice rounded edge.

Tip: Use a Roughing end mill first to remove large areas of material then proceed with a ball nose end mill.

Richard X. ★★★★★

I was honestly surprised how clean the finish came out on a hardwood trim pass. Thing cuts smooth and the coating still looks new after several hours of routing. The 2-inch cut length lets me reach deeper pockets in one setup.

Evelyn Z. ★★★★★

Cut a nice radius on some aluminum plate with this and the finish came out smoother than I expected for the price. The 2 inch cut length gives plenty of reach, and the ball nose tracked straight with no chatter. Coating still looks new after a few hours of use.

Kevin ★★★★★

Used this to cut a smooth radius on some aluminum brackets and the finish came out cleaner than I expected. The AstraHP coating seems to hold up well after a few passes, no chipping yet. The 2 inch cut length gives plenty of reach in deeper pockets too.
