Product Overview
The CGS Tool BN5348-S is a 5/8" diameter 3-flute solid carbide ball end mill built specifically for aluminum and non-ferrous contour milling, where a smooth rounded profile has to hold up at high feed. It belongs to the Ferocious 3x BN5300 Series, CGS Tool's non-ferrous ball nose line.
What sets this tool apart is the ZrN coating on top of the same wiper end and variable helix/pitch geometry that defines the BN5300 line — a combination built to keep aluminum from welding to the flutes while fighting chatter at speed. It holds up through aluminum, copper, brass, non-ferrous material, plastics, and composites.
