Is AR corner radius the same as a full ball radius?
No. Use the AR end-profile drawing to identify the corner transition. A ball nose tool has a different working profile; do not substitute one solely because its diameter or a radius value matches.
Which AR dimensions prevent a corner-profile mismatch?
Specify D and R independently, then Lc, d and L. Compare the part transition with the tool profile. The diameter alone does not determine the corner radius.
Can an AR cutter be approved using only the aluminium product label?
Provide the alloy, condition, machining task and required finish. The catalogue category is a selection starting point, not a universal application approval or a numerical performance guarantee.
Does the three-flute AR configuration guarantee better chip removal?
No universal result follows from flute count alone. Review the full geometry, engagement and chip-removal arrangement for the actual alloy and operation. Avoid treating one configuration field as a completed application test.
Can equal-diameter AR variants be combined into one reorder code?
Keep the full model, radius and length configuration identifiable. Match the approved item and drawing before grouping order lines; different corner radii must not disappear inside a diameter-only description.
What should I send for an AR corner-radius quote?
Provide the model or part drawing, required R and D, quantities, alloy and operation. Include length, holder and acceptance requirements, followed by marking, packing and delivery preferences.
