For much of the sort of thing that I make, a bull-nose cutter (ball nose
with a flat section on the end) would be ideal. They can do nearly anything
that a ball-nose can, with the additional ability to make flat horizontal
surfaces.

My CAM packages all know how to work with them, but I don't actually seem
to be able to see them on sale anywhere. (Or, at least, not in the UK)

Are these always ground in-house, or perhaps they have an alternative name
that I should try searching for?
