Guhring 9031650127000 Ball End Mill 0.5in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031650127000 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, 4-flute geometry, and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool delivers smooth chip evacuation and stable cutting performance across a range of machining applications. The FIREX coating provides enhanced heat resistance and surface hardness, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The single-end design and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard vertical and horizontal CNC milling setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this geometry for contoured surfaces and 3D profiling work.

This ball end mill is suited for milling operations requiring a contoured ball nose profile, including die cavities, mold features, and complex 3D part geometries. It is appropriate for use in job shop environments, production machining, and maintenance machining on CNC mills and machining centers. The 1 inch length of cut and 3 inch overall length make it well-suited for moderate-depth pocket and profile work where rigidity and runout control are priorities. No extended reach configuration is included, keeping deflection minimal at standard depths.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance
• FIREX coating for improved thermal resistance and tool longevity in ferrous materials
• 4-flute spiral geometry with 30-degree helix for balanced chip load and surface finish
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Single-end design with 0.5 inch shank diameter for secure toolholder engagement
• Regular length type for optimal stiffness at standard machining depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard 0.5 inch collet chucks, end mill holders, or hydraulic toolholders on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols and machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Verify toolholder bore size matches the 0.5 inch shank diameter and torque set-screw or collet retention per toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before use.
