Custom Long Neck Ball Nose End Mill
Long neck ball end mills are designed for 3D surface machining and complex contour machining. Their long necks help avoid interference and extend the cutting length, and they are used in a large number of applications for machining deep cavities, deep grooves, and other areas where interference may occur.
Custom Long Neck Ball Nose End Mill Reference
Cut size: ZLY can machine ball end mills with cutting end diameters ranging from 0.2 mm to 32 mm.
Cutting Edge Configurations:
- 1 Flute: Suitable for machining plastic, acrylic, and other materials.
- 2-3 Flutes: Large chip holding groove. Suitable for processing softer metals and non-ferrous metals under large cutting and high feed conditions.
- 4 Flutes: The most widely used, offering a balance of processing efficiency and good chip removal performance.
- More than 5 Flutes: For high-precision machining of hard materials.
Effective Cutting Length: A longer cutting end on a square end mill can lead to increased runout during use.
Suggestion: For heavy-duty cutting and high-efficiency cutting, it is recommended to choose a toolholder with strong clamping force, such as a strong toolholder or a heat shrinkable toolholder. The clamping length should be as short as possible, as an excessively long clamping length can easily produce vibration, interference, and even tool breakage.
