This article presents the results of a simulation model of the surface produced by milling with end-ball cutting tools, as well as determining the resulting surface roughness. This model simulates the kinematics of the tool and determines the geometrical contribution to roughness, considering the possible tool contact angle with respect to the feed direction. These results can be utilized for the choice of optimum cutting conditions in multi-axis milling.
