I'm cutting a small rose from vector art 3D. The model size is 3.5 x 3.5 x .25

This is my first time cutting something this small with alot of detail and my 1/8" tapered ball nose is to large.

I need a 1/16" tapered ball nose but am not sure where to buy one.

Any help would be great.

Nick,

You will be very happy with the 1/16" tapered ball nose that Gary Beckwith sells.

Knew Gary blew a lot of hot air... but never heard it called 'Heat Treating' before. ;-)

I like that one, you may have coined it but think I'll have to borrow it
