Product Overview
The BN2012-S is a 5/16" 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill built for high-speed work in aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites. It's part of CGS Tool's BN2000 Series Ferocious lineup, giving you solid material removal and a dependable finish on demanding CNC jobs.
CGS Tool's own 55° high helix geometry speeds up chip evacuation and keeps cutting forces lower, even when you're pushing the feed rate. The precision-ground ball profile is a natural fit for contouring, profiling, and 3D surface work, and the ZrN coating on the cutting edges helps hold back material buildup, so you keep a cleaner cut through longer runs in non-ferrous material.
