Tappered Ball Nose Bits

Tapered ball nose bits feature a small radius tip that allows for fine detail work, while the long taper promotes deep cuts and extended reach into the workpiece. They are an excellent choice for precise 3D carving, detailed surface profiles, and smooth, clean finishes on CNC machines. For very fine detail work, opt for a smaller cut diameter bit. Finding the correct feed rate is critical with these bits: running too fast will result in a loss of detail and a rougher surface finish. Start conservatively and adjust based on material response.
