Description

The 4-Flute Ball Nose End Mill is a precision tool used in milling applications. With a diameter of 4mm, this tool features a hemispherical tip, designed for creating smooth contours and intricate 3D shapes. The four flutes (cutting edges) provide a balance between material removal rates and surface finish quality. This tool is commonly made from high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, offering durability and resistance to wear.

 

Key Features:

  • Diameter: 4mm
  • Flutes: 4
  • Tip Shape: Ball nose
  • Material: High-speed steel (HSS) or carbide
  • Coating: May have coatings such as TiN (Titanium Nitride) or TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) for increased performance and tool life
  • Shank Type: Straight shank for easy mounting in milling machines or CNC routers

Applications:

 

  1. 3D Contouring and Profiling:
    • Ideal for creating intricate 3D shapes and smooth contours on a workpiece.
    • Commonly used in mold and die making, sculpture, and complex surface machining.
  2. Surface Finishing:
    • Provides a fine finish on curved surfaces due to the ball nose design.
    • Suitable for finishing passes on a variety of materials.
  3. Slotting and Grooving:
    • Effective for creating slots and grooves in both metals and non-metals.
    • The 4-flute design ensures efficient material removal while maintaining a smooth finish.
  4. Engraving and Detail Work:
    • Excellent for engraving detailed patterns and text on surfaces.
    • Used in jewelry making, sign making, and decorative engraving.
  5. Materials:
    • Versatile for machining a wide range of materials including steel, aluminum, brass, plastics, and composites.
    • Carbide versions are particularly suitable for harder materials and high-speed machining.

Advantages:

  • Smooth Finish: The ball nose tip creates a smoother finish compared to flat end mills.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials and applications.
  • Precision: Excellent for detailed work and complex geometries.
  • Durability: Available in high-performance materials and coatings for extended tool life.
