A favourite of CNC enthusiasts is to 3D carve and a ball nose router bit allows you to do just that. These are a great entry level bits as the are value for money compared to tapered ball nose. The radius = 1/2 of the diameter with no flat bottom. These bits can also be used to engrave lettering.
Suitable for
- Plastics (ABS, acrylic, HPDE etc.)
- Wood (MDF, hardwood)
- Wood (Ply & softwoods)
Adam’s Tips
Cutting against the grain reduces fuzzy material forming in your carve. This can be set in your 3D carving software under the term "raster".

I’ve bought my bits from Adam’s bits before and must say they are the best bits I’ve used for aluminium cutting. Very fast postage to my rural property in NSW. Great customer service

Great with ply!
Clean and accurate! Using this end mill will probably reduce my finishing time by about 90% and that's a conservative estimate!
