Maykestag ALUNIT HSS-Co8 ball nose end mill 10mm short series

Professional 10mm short-series ball nose end mill manufactured from HSS-Co8 and coated with ALUNIT®, featuring a 5mm radius, two flutes, centre-cutting geometry and a 30° Type N normal helix for accurate contouring, profiling, copy milling and general milling applications.

The Maykestag Series 1057 is a precision HSS-Co8 ball nose end mill with a radiused cutting end, designed for machining curved profiles, rounded transitions, contoured surfaces and three-dimensional forms. Its centre-cutting geometry allows the cutting edges to work across the centre of the tool, while the two-flute configuration provides effective chip space during milling. The short-series construction provides increased rigidity and helps reduce tool deflection, supporting accurate machining and a consistent finish. The ALUNIT® coating provides a hard, wear-resistant cutting surface designed to reduce friction and heat load while supporting increased cutting speeds, productivity and consistent machining performance.

What is a ball nose end mill? A ball nose end mill is a milling cutter with a hemispherical or fully radiused cutting end rather than a flat square end. This geometry allows the tool to produce smooth curved surfaces, contours, profiles and three-dimensional forms, making it particularly useful for copy milling and applications where a rounded cutting profile is required. The two-flute, centre-cutting design of the Series 1057 provides a versatile cutting action for suitable milling applications. Product highlights

• HSS-Co8 construction: High-cobalt high-speed steel provides excellent toughness, heat resistance and cutting-edge durability for demanding milling applications.
• ALUNIT® coating: Super-hard coating technology provides improved resistance to cutting-edge wear and heat, supporting increased cutting speeds, productivity and tool life.
• 10mm cutting diameter: Provides a versatile cutting diameter for contouring, profiling, copy milling and general milling applications.
• 5mm radius: Fully radiused cutting geometry produces smooth curved profiles and three-dimensional surfaces.
• Short-series design: The compact construction increases tool rigidity and helps minimise deflection during machining.
• Two-flute geometry: Provides useful flute space for effective chip evacuation during milling operations.
• Centre cutting: Cutting edges extend across the centre, allowing the cutter to enter the workpiece as well as perform lateral milling.
• Type N geometry: Normal helix geometry designed for general-purpose milling applications.
• 30° spiral angle: Provides a balanced cutting action and assists with effective chip removal.
• WN specification: Manufactured according to the specified Maykestag works-standard geometry.
• DIN 1835-B shank: Shank form with driving flat for secure tool holding in suitable toolholding systems.
