1/16 or 1/32 Ball nose end mills

I’m playing around with textures, and it seems like small ball nose endmills should work better for texturing.

Since I don’t own any …recommendations on 1/16 or 1/32 ball nose bits would be greatly appreciated.

This is really subjective, and depends on the type of work you plan to do.
To illustrate extremes, if you plan to do a 18" x 36" carving of the last supper that will be viewed from 10’ away, you can probably get by with the 1/16" ball.
If you plan to do coins with a lot of intricate detail, you may need the smaller cutter to get the desired detail.
