AMG introduced 3-flute aluminum-specific lollipop ball nose cutter, specially developed for the precision machining of lightweight automotive components.

This high-performance tool is made from ultra-fine grain carbide and features a polished flute surface along with a relieved neck design, effectively solving common issues in aluminum machining such as built-up edge, chip evacuation difficulty, and tool interference.

Its unique "lollipop" style ball head enables efficient high-precision milling of complex cavities, deep grooves, and ribbed structures on five-axis machines, making it especially suitable for automotive lightweight structural parts.

Application:
This tool is ideal for the 3D contouring and finishing of lightweight automotive parts such as battery trays, shock absorber components, reinforcement ribs, heat dissipation structures, and internal housing cavities. It performs exceptionally well in multi-axis operations and interference avoidance is critical.

Specification Table:

Item	Parameter Range
Ball Nose Diameter (D)	2mm – 10mm
Shank Diameter (d)	4mm – 10mm
Overall Length (L)	50mm – 100mm
Number of Flutes	3 flutes
Material	Ultra-fine grain carbide
Structure	Lollipop-shaped ball head + relieved neck
Surface Finish	Polished or aluminum-specific coating (optional)

Working Principle:

The tool features use thin neck design and ball head structure, enter narrow or recessed areas easily for machining without causing interference.

The 3-edge design not only enhances chip evacuation efficiency but also keep good cutting balance during high-speed light cutting, then achieving high-quality surface finish and contour accuracy.

This tool is particularly suitable for continuous machining with multi-axis linkage, and can stably handle precision milling tasks involving various curved surfaces, inclined surfaces, and complex internal cavity structures. It is widely used in mold manufacturing, automation components, medical devices, and precision machining in the aviation industry.

Key Advantages:

• High efficiency in aluminum cutting with reduced risk of built-up edge

• Lollipop ball nose design optimized for complex surface machining

• Relieved neck prevents interference in deep cavities and ribbed structures

• 3-flute design enhances cutting smoothness and surface quality
