Product Overview
The CGS Tool BN5312 is a 5/16" diameter 3-flute solid carbide ball end mill built specifically for aluminum and non-ferrous contour milling, where a rounded profile has to keep pace with a high feed rate. It belongs to the Ferocious 3x BN5300 Series, CGS Tool's non-ferrous ball nose line.
What sets this tool apart is the .1562" radius working alongside variable helix, variable pitch, and wiper end geometry — a combination built to cut chatter and hold a clean surface finish at speed. It's built for strong stock removal in aluminum, copper, brass, non-ferrous material, plastics, and composites.
