Solid Carbide 3 Flute Tapered Ball Nose End Mill (R1/32, 1/4″ Shank, 2.5″ Long)

Micro-Radius Tapered Ball Nose Cutter for Ultra-Fine 3D Finishing and Detail Work in Molds and Dies in Canada.

The Snail Tools Solid Carbide 3 Flute Tapered Ball Nose End Mill is a highly specialized tool engineered for ultra-fine finishing and high-accuracy 3D contouring. The geometry features a tiny R1/32 inch radius tip, ideal for capturing intricate details and achieving a pristine surface finish on complex surfaces. The unique tapered body, supported by a robust 1/4 inch shank, provides exceptional rigidity and minimizes tool deflection over the entire 1 inch cutting depth. The three-flute design ensures a superior finish and stability at high feed rates. This cutter is built from premium Solid Carbide for high-precision milling in materials including hardened steels, mold steels, and specialized tooling alloys.

Key Features & Micro-Precision Contouring

• Geometry: Tapered Ball Nose (R1/32) – Ideal for detailed 3D finishing and creating complex contoured surfaces with ultra-fine resolution. The final tip diameter is 1/16 inch.

• Flutes: 3 Flutes (Triple Flute) – Provides superior stability, better control, and a finer finish compared to 2-flute cutters in finishing applications.

• Design: Extreme Rigidity – The tapered body and 1/4 inch stabilized shank drastically reduce vibration and deflection, allowing for precise, high-speed finishing even at a long 1 inch depth of cut.

• Application: Essential for high-tolerance mold and die making, detailed cavity finishing, and micro-machining of complex geometry.
