Product Overview
The CGS Tool BN2036-S is a 1/2" diameter 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill built specifically for high-speed aluminum and non-ferrous work, where the priority is feeding fast without leaving a rough surface behind. It belongs to the Ferocious 2000 Series, CGS Tool's dedicated high-helix line for non-ferrous materials, and it's aimed at shops that need real speed out of a ball nose without sacrificing the finish.
What sets this tool apart is the 55° high helix, steeper than a standard general-purpose tool, which pulls chips out of the cut fast enough to keep up with aggressive feed rates. The ZrN coating is matched specifically to aluminum machining, cutting down on the material trying to weld itself back onto the flutes. With a .250" radius for smooth contour work, the BN2036-S holds up through aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, and composites at the speeds this series is built for.
