With a 0.15mm cutter diameter and a 3mm reach, this tool is designed for accessing deep, narrow cavities and creating fine 3D geometries that standard end mills cannot reach.\n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMicro Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: The 0.15mm cutting diameter and 3mm reach create a high aspect ratio, perfect for micro-milling PCBs, jewelry, and medical components where space is extremely limited.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Nose Profile\u003c\/b\u003e: The spherical tip geometry allows for smooth finishing of contoured surfaces and creates rounded bottom corners (fillets), essential for mold making and 3D modeling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2-Flute Configuration\u003c\/b\u003e: Two flutes ensure efficient chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces, which is critical for stability when machining with such a small diameter tool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating\u003c\/b\u003e: The titanium silicon nitride coating provides a hard, heat-resistant surface (visible as a metallic copper finish) that minimizes friction, prevents built-up edge, and extends tool life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Design\u003c\/b\u003e: The slender neck allows the cutting edge to reach deep into slots and pockets, preventing the shank from colliding with the workpiece during deep milling operations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\nThis end mill delivers high-accuracy machining for complex 3D shapes and deep micro-features. The ball nose design produces superior surface finishes on curved areas, while the TiSiN coating ensures consistent performance and tool longevity. It is ideal for engineers and machinists working on soft metals, composites, and plastics who require fine detail and deep access in tight spaces.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227896737870,"sku":"PRO1501037","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_b9882e53-1a64-4c53-b6b0-abc21fa482ee.png?v=1787755754","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-0-15mm-cutter-dia-x-3mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
