Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for finishing and semi-finishing passes in hardened materials, mold cavities, and contoured surfaces. It runs with a 10-degree taper per side and a 3\/32-inch small end diameter, providing accurate tapered wall geometry in a single pass. Three right-hand spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC milling centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for mold and die work, 3D profiling, and finishing of tapered pockets and slots where wall angle accuracy is critical. The ball end geometry allows it to machine contoured and sculptured surfaces without leaving flat spots. With a 1-inch length of cut and a 1\/2-inch shank diameter, it fits standard ER or end mill holders found in most machining centers. The uncoated finish makes it appropriate for use in a wide range of workpiece materials where coating interaction is a concern or where frequent resharpening is expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-degree taper per side for consistent tapered wall geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall end shape with 3\/64-inch nose radius for contoured surface finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for applications requiring resharpening or where coatings are not preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 1\/2-inch end mill holders or collet chucks on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills; no specific machine or system compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is installed by machinists into a compatible end mill holder or collet chuck and secured to the rated torque for that holder type per the holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm shank runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Ensure the spindle and work-holding are fully secured before starting the machine.
