3D Profile Finishing ToolFinder
Ball nose inserts are typically used for 3D finishing of steeply sloped or curved surfaces. For tapered or deep straight walls, backdraft inserts are an excellent choice. Common 3D profiling operations include:
- Mold and die applications
- Sloped, curved, and angled surfaces
- Tapered walls
- Deep, straight walls
