Ball Mill cutter Overview
Ball mill cutters are precision CNC cutting tools with hemispherical tips, engineered for complex 3D contour machining. They deliver smooth profile milling and fine surface finishes, widely used in mold making, aerospace, and medical industries. Available in carbide or cobalt HSS, these radius end mills process steel, aluminum, titanium alloys, and composites, enhancing surface finish and machining efficiency.

Selection Guide
1. Material-Specific Selection
- Aluminum/soft metals: 35° helix + TiCN coating
- Hard steel (>45HRCの): 45° helix + TiAlN coating
- Cost-sensitive jobs: Uncoated HSS (40% cost savings)
#Pro Tip: Use 30° helix for aluminum, 45° for hardened steel
2. Precision Requirements
- Roughing: 4-flute with deep chip pockets (+30% MRR)
- Finishing: 6-flute carbide (≤0.01mm tolerance, Ra<0.4μm)
3. Depth-Specific Tools
- Shallow cuts: Standard length tools
- Deep cavities: Long reach end mills
4. Production Volume Optimization
- 5-axis CNC: Short shank (≤50mm)
- High-volume: DLC coating (2x tool life)
5. Cost-Effective Bundles
Combine 4-flute HSS roughing + 6-flute carbide finishing to cut part cost by 22%.
