What is "Ball End Cutter"

A ball end cutter is a type of cutting tool with a rounded end, that allows for smooth, curved cuts and is ideal for creating contours and 3D shapes on a workpiece.

The rounded end of the cutter allows it to cut curves and surfaces that would be difficult to cut smoothly with a flat-ended cutter.

Small diameter ball end cutters are also used for engraving toolpaths in plastic and metal workpieces.
