Tool 120m030LA
Large diameter ball nose work tests your spindle's limits and your patience with tool life.
- Ball nose geometry at 3" cutting diameter follows contoured surfaces without leaving flat-bottomed transitions.
- At 3" cutting diameter, this tool handles heavy profiling cuts on large molds and complex contours where smaller cutters would require excessive stepover passes.
- The TiAlSiN coating provides thermal barrier protection during the extended cycle times typical of large diameter operations.
- Three flutes maintain chip evacuation capacity while distributing cutting forces across multiple edges, reducing deflection concerns inherent with tools of this scale.
- The rounded tip produces smooth surface transitions on sculptured surfaces without the flat-bottomed witness marks left by square end mills.
