Taper ball end mill application: This model is intended for confirmed CNC wood relief and rounded-profile work; verify material, machine, and toolpath before cutting.
Application: Designed for deeper rounded relief and decorative contour machining on rosewood, hardwood, and other compatible wood materials.
Features: The 45 mm cutting height provides additional reach, while the R1.5 ball end creates smooth relief transitions. The solid-carbide body supports sharp and stable cutting under suitable CNC settings.
Product details: Shank diameter: 6 mm; ball radius: R1.5; included angle: 10°; cutting height: 45 mm; overall length: 80 mm.
GC-6 x R1.5 x 10° x 45H x 80L Extended Taper Ball End Mill for Hardwood Relief is manufactured from solid carbide for accurate CNC relief carving and decorative woodworking. Select the correct model and use suitable speeds, feeds, workholding, and dust extraction for the material and machine.
GC-6 R1.5 Taper Ball End Mill Applications
This taper ball end mill is intended for CNC relief carving, rounded profiles, decorative contours, and fine three-dimensional woodworking where a controlled ball radius is required. The GC-6 x R1.5 x 10° x 45H x 80L model combines a 6 mm shank, R1.5 ball radius, 10° included angle, 45 mm cutting height, and 80 mm overall length. These are the confirmed product dimensions for purchasing and setup.
What materials can it machine?
Use the cutter only on compatible wood materials confirmed for your machine and workholding system. It is suitable for hardwood and rosewood relief work described for this model, and it may also be considered for other compatible wood when the material, rigidity, and cutting result have been verified. Because wood density, moisture, grain direction, and finish vary, test on a secured sample before production. Do not assume that a setting used for one species is suitable for another.
What CNC equipment is compatible?
The tool is designed for a CNC router or CNC carving machine that accepts a 6 mm shank and provides adequate clearance for an 80 mm overall length. Confirm the collet size, usable cutting height, spindle or router interface, machine travel, workholding, and programmed toolpath before ordering. The machine must hold the workpiece firmly and provide enough clearance for the 45 mm cutting height. Compatibility with a specific brand, spindle, or tool holder should be confirmed from the machine and collet documentation.
How should the taper ball end mill be installed?
Clean the 6 mm shank and collet, inspect the cutting edges, and insert the shank to the safe clamping depth recommended by the collet and machine manufacturer. Tighten the collet evenly with the correct wrench and check runout before cutting. Set the tool length and work coordinate system carefully, then make a shallow air cut or test pass above the workpiece. The 45 mm cutting height and 80 mm overall length require special attention to clearance, especially on deep relief toolpaths.
What machining parameters should be used?
No universal RPM, feed rate, stepdown, stepover, or depth-of-cut value is confirmed for this product. Choose conservative starting values from the CNC machine, spindle, toolpath software, and material supplier guidance, then adjust after observing chip formation, vibration, surface finish, and tool temperature. Use a stable toolpath, secure workholding, and effective chip or dust extraction. Reduce engagement when the machine, material, or reach creates vibration. Never exceed the limits of the machine, collet, or cutter.
How do I select the correct model?
Choose by shank diameter first, then compare ball radius, included angle, cutting height, overall length, required reach, and the relief detail shown in the CAD/CAM toolpath. A smaller R value can support finer detail, while a longer tool may provide reach but can be more sensitive to deflection. Confirm the actual model code, dimensions, image, machine interface, and quantity with JEEFOO before purchase. If a required specification is not listed, ask for confirmation rather than inferring it from a similar cutter.
Safety and purchasing checklist
- Wear eye protection and follow the CNC router manufacturer safety instructions.
- Use suitable dust extraction and housekeeping for wood dust; review OSHA wood dust guidance.
- Inspect the tool, collet, workholding, and machine guards before every job.
- Stop immediately if there is unusual noise, excessive vibration, smoke, or visible damage.
- Before ordering, confirm the 6 mm shank, R1.5 radius, 10° angle, 45H cutting height, 80L overall length, material, machine, and delivery quantity.
