Ball end mills produce a radius at the bottom of pockets and slots. Ball end mills are used for contour milling, shallow slotting, contour milling and pocketing applications. Flutes Spiral-shaped cutting edges are cut into the side of the end mill to provide a path for chips to escape when an end mill is down in a slot or a pocket.
Abstract Ball-end milling is widely used in industrial applications, such as mold manufacturing and aerospace industries. One of many difficulties in milling research is the milling force, which is often crucial to the component's processing efficiency and quality. In this paper, a method for predicting ball-end cutter milling force and its probabilistic characteristics is presented.
