High-Performance Solid Carbide Ball Nose Cutter for Complex Geometries
This 2-flute solid carbide ball nose cutter in the long version acts as a robust solution for cutting non-ferrous metals. Due to the centre-cutting design and the extended tool body, it provides ideal conditions for processing complex 3D contours and deep-seated cavities. The uncoated RT30K carbide grade prevents built-up edges during aluminium machining, contributing to dependable and efficient production workflows.

Applications
The geometric layout of this milling cutter is tailored strictly to the practical needs of machining aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys. It proves to be a flexible option for 3D form milling, shoulder milling, slot milling, and secure ramping processes in mould making.

Special features
Combining a 30° helix angle with the specialised K30 carbide substrate guarantees straightforward chip removal. The centre-cutting edge allows the tool to plunge axially directly into the workpiece material, greatly qualifying the cutter for demanding contouring operations.
