Introduction to Milling Tools and Their Application

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.
