Specifications of Ball Nose End Mills

Ball nose end mills feature a full radius design equal to half of the tool’s diameter, forming a ball shape with one single radius. General-purpose ball nose end mills are used for milling and profiling operations. They are also used for kellering or tracing parts when necessary, creating hard tooling from models.

Available Coating Options

Pacific Industrial Supply provides a range of coating options for ball nose end mills. These finishes include TiAlN, AlTiN, TiCN, TiN, and uncoated. Each coating offers different benefits and is designed for milling specific materials and projects. TiAlN and AlTiN coatings are excellent for milling high-strength steels and provide resistance to extreme temperatures. TiCN features excellent chip-resistant properties and is used for milling cast iron and abrasive materials, while TiN is a general-purpose coating with high wear resistance and stability for standard milling operations. Uncoated end mills are lower in cost, providing a cost-effective cutting solution while maintaining accurate milling.
