AMG has introduced a 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 where interference avoidance is critical.
Specification Table:

Working Principle:
The tool’s relieved neck and ball nose geometry enable non-interfering access to narrow or recessed regions. The 3-flute design ensures excellent chip evacuation and cutting balance, delivering high-quality surface finishes and profile accuracy during high-speed, light cutting. It is particularly suited for continuous multi-axis machining of curves, slopes, and complex internal features.
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
AMG supports multiple sizes and custom tool configurations for specialized needs
FAQ:
Q1: Can it be used for copper or other non-ferrous metals?
A1: Yes, it works well on copper, plastics, magnesium, and other easy-to-machine materials.
Q2: Why choose a 3-flute design?
A2: It offers a good balance of chip evacuation and stability, making it ideal for high-speed, light-duty aluminum machining with superior surface results.
Q3: What if the tool interferes with complex surfaces?
A3: The relieved neck design minimizes tool interference, making it ideal for undercuts and deep cavity machining.
