A ball cutter, often referred to as a ball nose end mill or ball end mill, is a type of milling cutter that is used in machining to produce curved surfaces and contours. The defining feature of a ball cutter is its hemispherical cutting tip, which allows for smooth, contoured cuts. Available in various diameters and lengths to accommodate different machining needs. Ideal for creating smooth, curved surfaces and intricate 3D shapes. Allows for precise control over the cutting process, making it perfect for detailed work. Commonly used to create complex molds and dies. Used for machining complex aircraft components. Suitable for manufacturing prosthetics and other medical devices requiring precise contours. Useful in any industry where 3D contouring is required.
