Product Function
Designed for the Mold & Die industry, this 2-Flute Solid Carbide Ball Nose End Mill is the ultimate tool for 3D profiling, contouring, and finishing operations on Carbon Steels, Alloy Steels, and Pre-hardened Steels (up to HRC55).
Why this series is special?
Unlike standard catalogs that only offer integer sizes (R1.0, R2.0), this series specializes in High-Precision Decimal Radii (e.g., R1.05, R1.18, R3.175). This eliminates the need for expensive custom tool grinding when you need to machine specific corner radii or compensate for EDM spark gaps.
Product Features
- Extensive Decimal Sizes: We stock hard-to-find sizes like R1.15, R1.65, and R3.175 (1/8" Radius), ensuring you have the exact geometry for your CAD model.
- Premium Micro-Grain Carbide: Manufactured from ultra-fine tungsten carbide substrate, providing excellent wear resistance and toughness for machining steel.
- Advanced Coating: Coated with high-performance AlTiN/TiSiN, enabling high-temperature resistance and dry machining capabilities.
- Superior Surface Finish: The 2-flute geometry with a 30° helix angle is optimized for chip evacuation in deep cavities, leaving a smooth, polished surface.
- High Tolerance: Radius tolerance is controlled within ±0.01mm, ensuring precise form accuracy for complex molds.

FAQ
Q: What is the hardness rating for these end mills?
A: These are designed for steels up to HRC55. For harder materials (HRC60-65), please check our "Blue Series" or "High Hardness Series".
Q: Is R3.175 the same as 1/8 inch radius?
A: Yes, R3.175mm is exactly equivalent to a 1/8" radius, making it perfect for projects using Imperial measurements.
Q: Can I use these for roughing?
A: While they can handle light roughing, 2-flute ball nose mills are best optimized for finishing and semi-finishing (profiling) to maintain the best surface quality and tool life.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: Yes, we ship globally via DHL/FedEx/UPS. Shipping usually takes 3-7 days depending on your location.
