Add dimension to your projects with this 2-mm Maillefer ball end mill, which is ideal for creating recesses, pilot holes, and more pronounced textures.
With its 2-mm spherical head, this bit removes more material than a 0.8- or 1-mm model and therefore produces more visible indentations. It can be used to prepare a hole, carve out a small round cavity, or texture a surface. Steel ball bits are suitable for resin, polymer clay, and silver clay, and can also be used with a rotary tool for working with metal.
What can you create with a 2 mm ball bit?
On metal, use it to create a series of notches that will give a hammered effect or to make spot indentations on a surface before other finishing steps. It can also be used to prepare a recess for a small decorative element or to create a cavity that makes it easier to glue a bead without a hole. The guide “5 Techniques for Texturing Metal Without a Hammer” shows how pressure and movement affect the results achieved with a ball bit. For projects using resin or polymer clay, also discover how to use a hand drill to work more slowly and with greater control.
This diameter allows you to achieve clearly visible effects without having to switch to a very large bit. Work in stages and regularly check the depth of the different indentations if you want to create a uniform texture.
