Solid carbide. 26 mm cutting depth in a single pass. 0.1 mm spherical tip. Runout under 1 micron. Built exclusively for 5-axis wax milling on NS CNC machines.
Early 5-axis wax milling used cutters built for 3-axis work — 10–12 mm cutting lengths, geometries suited to flat reliefs. As jewelry models became more complex and 5-axis strategies demanded rotation through large angles, the limitations of those tools became visible in the output. NS CNC set the target: a tapered ball-end cutter with 26 mm cutting length, 0.1 mm tip, sub-micron runout — manufacturable at production scale. Multiple flute geometry iterations over several years to arrive at the current design. Full-depth wax cutting in a single pass, no roughing, at full feed rate. No other wax milling bit on the market meets this specification.
Everyday production milling. Standard collet compatible across all Mira-series machines. 0.10 mm tip diameter, 26 mm cutting length, 52 mm overall, 3.175 mm (1/8″) shank. Solid carbide. 2 flutes. 10° full taper, 5° sided. Runout under 1 micron. Manufactured in the United States.
Finer tip, longer stick-out. Requires AA Series High Precision collet. 0.07 mm tip, 26 mm cutting length, 65 mm overall. 52 mm max stick-out. Same carbide, same flute geometry, same runout specification — optimized for jobs demanding finer surface detail or deeper undercut access.
