Conical Ballnose Engraving Tools (B)

Conical Ballnose Engraving Tools:  Ballnose Cutter with a Radius Tip

Conical Ballnose Engraving Tools
Conical Ballnose
Engraving Tool Bit

Made of submicron grade carbide		 The Conical Ballnose engraving tool is a solid carbide cutter shaped similar in design to the Standard Conical engraving tool but with a radius on the tip that produces a cut with a rounded bottom. It is extremely effective for reverse engraving acrylic and 3D engraving applications.

Testing has demonstrated that the 2L Conical Ballnose Engraving Tool can withstand higher cutting forces than standard Ballnose Endmills or tapered Ballnose Endmills.

For example, a 0.010" Radius Conical Ballnose Engraving Tool was able to withstand plunging 0.010" deep at 55,000 RPM and 300 IPM in aluminum and make at least 200 passes over the surface while a similar diameter standard tapered Ballnose Endmills broke almost immediately.
