Description

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.

1/8 Ballnose Bit

MY CNC has been down as I install a new liquid control spindle. Just finishing up some electrical work now. Will put the bit to work this afternoon.

Excellent detail from this bit

I use the 1/8” ball nose for the majority of my detail carves after using a clearing bit. The 1/8” gives excellent detail and once I dial in the step over I think provides the best result, I am usually impressed with the clarity and detail created. The one thing to keep in mind with this bit is that it is only 1.5” (38mm) long with a .75” (21mm) cut length so if your need is for a greater depth of cut and there is not room for the collet to fit into the space, this is not the bit for you. IDC has a longer shank 1/8” bullnose for that situation. I have used this for up to 1/2” depths with great results. I give it 5 Stars.

IDC WoodCraft 1/8” Ball Nose

I believe in the 1/8” ball nose bit for 3D carving..it does such a smooth carve and it is precise..I haven’t bought the 3/8” compression bit as of yet, but will this coming week to compare it to the 1/8” ball nose bit.
