Combining a ball nose tip with peripheral large arc cutting edges creates a multi-purpose "cutting oval," which facilitates the use of a barrel end mill as a ball nose milling tool. Click image to enlarge In taper endmills, transforming the profile of a major cutting edge into a large arc segment generates another cutting oval—a taper barrel.
Face milling - Coromant
Face milling with a very high feed per tooth (up to 4 mm/tooth) is possible when using cutters that have small entering angles or when using round insert cutters, due to their chip thinning effect. Although the depth of cut is limited to less than 2.8 mm, the extreme feed makes it a highly productive milling method.

Ron Davis, Manager, Training and Development, WIDIA Products Group. In milling, cutting forces are exerted in three planes to deform and shear away material in the form of a chip. Tangential cutting forces overcome the resistance to rotation and account for 70 perent of the total force. Feed forces account for 20 percent of the total force.

Milling Lead Angle Chip Thinning Calculator Lead approach angles on milling cutters produce a thinner chip than the actual advance per tooth. Enter the desired chip load into the calculator. It will provide the adjusted feed per tooth to obtain the desired chip thickness. The chip thinning factor is equal to the cosine of the approach angle.

Chip Thinning and Why You Should Cut More Aggressively
Chip thinning comes into play when you make a cut that's less than half the diameter of the cutter wide. This is very common, especially with high-speed machining toolpaths. For example, with a 1/2″ end mill, you might specify a cut that's 20% of the diameter, or 0.100″ wide. The diagram shows a view of a cut looking down along the axis ...
Long reach small Dia. tools in hard steel
formula says with chip thinning with ball end mill <10800 rpm <41 ipm feed. so basically your feed was not that bad but still wouldn't hurt to lower rpm and feed as it maybe it's more the milling hard steel problem.

Thinning the chip raises another consideration—the need to increase feedrates, perhaps drastically. "With a 90° milling cutter, the chip thickness is equal to the programmed feed per tooth," says Mitchell. "A 45° face mill, on the other hand, generates chip thicknesses 70 per cent that of the feed per tooth, while a 15° HFM cutter ...
Rough Milling: Speed vs. Power | MoldMaking Technology
The same end mill that one would use for a conventional power approach can be used productively for most high-speed roughing applications. There is a tendency to use end mills with five or more flutes for high-speed roughing, but operators should beware: If the machine is not reaching the programmed feed rate, the additional flutes will have a ...
Adaptive Machining Explained | Fabricating and Metalworking
Axial Chip Thinning occurs when a radius (ball) endmill is used and the stepdown or vertical engagement into the material is less than the radius of the cutter (see Figure 1). When Axial Chip Thinning occurs, the effective diameter of the tool changes: the effective diameter of the tool is much smaller than the actual diameter due to material ...

Profile milling - Coromant
When using a ball nose end mill, the most critical area of the cutting edge is the tool center, where the cutting speed is close to zero, which is unfavorable for the cutting process. Chip evacuation at the tool center is critical, due to the narrow space at the chisel edge.
Introduction to Milling Tools and Their Application
Ball end mills are used for contour milling, shallow slotting, contour milling and pocketing applications. Flutes Spiral-shaped cutting edges are cut into the side of the end mill to provide a path for chips to escape when an end mill is down in a slot or a pocket. The most common options are 2, 3, or 4 flutes. The more flutes, the more cutting ...
