Guhring 9042610127000 Ball End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9042610127000 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built to Series 4261 specifications, it features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, 4 flutes, and a variable helix angle of 36 to 38 degrees that reduces chatter and improves surface finish in difficult-to-machine materials. The ultra-fine grain carbide substrate paired with a nano-A coating delivers extended tool life and heat resistance under high-load cutting conditions. This is a single-end, right-hand cut, right-hand spiral tool intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals working in production or job-shop environments.

This ball end mill is rated for primary use in stainless steel and steel, with secondary suitability for cast iron. The 1-1/4 inch length of cut and 3-1/2 inch overall length make it well suited for contouring, profiling, and 3D surface work where reach and rigidity must be balanced. It is commonly found in CNC milling centers and manual knee mills handling close-tolerance part programs in aerospace, medical, and general industrial manufacturing.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with ultra-fine grain substrate for rigidity and edge retention
• nano-A coating for thermal resistance and reduced built-up edge in steel and stainless steel
• Variable helix at 36 to 38 degrees dampens vibration and improves chip evacuation
• 4-flute, right-hand spiral geometry delivers high metal removal rates on ferrous materials
• 1/2 inch shank diameter with h6 tolerance for consistent tool holder fit
• Single-end design; no coolant-through, no chipbreaker, standard length configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines accepting a 1/2 inch shank. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel and steel (ISO material codes M, P, S); secondary application is cast iron (ISO code K).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup personnel. Secure the shank in a collet chuck or end mill holder rated for the 1/2 inch h6 shank diameter, ensuring proper runout before cutting. Verify spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut against the tool manufacturer guidelines for the workpiece material before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool if edge condition is compromised.
