This 1/8" solid carbide ball-nose endmill bit is your alternate 3D carving bit when you want speed in your CNC router project.
Tapered ball nose bits are excellent for getting those exquisite details. However, they can also take a long time to carve. That's why the Straight 8 exists! to get the look without the time.
Every CNC'er should have this as their go-to bit for fast carves. For the price versus time, it is completely with the investment.
As with all CNC router bits on this site, the Straight 8 1/8" ball-nose endmill bit is made right & built to last. That's why these are made above industry standards and 100% tungsten carbide.
Carbide is what professional metal machinists use to make complex items like car engines. It stays sharp 50x longer than conventional CNC router bits.

Customer Reviews
All my bits now come from IDC, great bits, reasonable prices and quick delivery with added treats and the added personal touch. Some of the bits I have purchased I have not used yet. I have used the 1/4" & 1/8" ball nose bits... love them. I have used both taper bits I purchased that IDC offers (.015" & .045"), these are great bits too. My most used bits are the 1/8" & 1/16" O'Flute bits for acrylic... these bits are amazing, very clean cutting. I also have the two drill bits they offer (1/4" & 1/8”) ... I have used the 1/4" drill bit... drilled through the wood like butter and fast. I have used extensively the 3/8" keyhole bit... works great. Love the 1.5" surfacing bit I have. Bits I have not used yet include the ultra-clean v-bit set... looking forward to trying these out. I also have both the badger and the beast, not used yet, maybe a little afraid of the power of these two bits. I have the 3/16" compression bit, not used yet.
If I have any wishes... trivial as it may be, I wished the 1/8" ball nose bit came in a 1/4" shank. Pretty weak, right but I usually use the ¼”, 1/8” and taper bits together, one after another… so I need to change collets in the middle of my operations as the taper bits are also ¼” shanks. Oh Yeah, I have the shark tool drawing tool, not used yet but have plans. Also have the muscle chuck... did not like the ¼” to 1/8" collet insert to use with the muscle chuck as it let loose and broke a bit and ruined a job. The muscle chuck works great as a standalone... much easier to use. I think I have other bits from IDC but can't think of them now. I know this was supposed to be a review just for the 1/8" ball nose bit... but overall, they are all great bits. Service is great too... Garrett makes sure his customers are satisfied... I had a missing bit in one of my orders... Garrett quickly replied and sent out the missing bit. So, you can tell, I highly recommend IDC Woodcraft... I will also add they Garrett puts out great videos and has a weekly podcast.
Works great
Used this bit to do some 3d carving and it did not disappoint....
One of the sharpest and most efficient bits I’ve seen for absolute detail in 3D modeling
