It features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter and a 0.432-inch length of cut, with 6 flutes to promote efficient chip evacuation and a superior surface finish. The AlTiN coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance, extending tool life in high-heat cutting environments. With a 4-inch overall length and a 5\/16-inch shank diameter, this single-end tool is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and consistent results are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball end mill is intended for machining centers operating on ferrous metals, stainless steels, high-temperature alloys, and hardened steels. It is commonly used in tool-and-die, mold making, aerospace component machining, and precision job shop environments. The 6-flute geometry supports higher feed rates at reduced depths of cut, making it well suited for finishing passes and semi-finishing operations where surface quality is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-inch ball end cutting diameter for accurate profiling and contouring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.432-inch length of cut suitable for shallow-to-moderate depth finishing work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-flute design supports higher feed rates and improved surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and high-temp alloy cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 5\/16-inch shank for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 5\/16-inch shank.

Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and at rest before loading or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or damage before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut (LOC)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.432 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.41 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HARVEY TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 956132-C3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HARVEY TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732793229618,"sku":"956132-C3","price":513.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8ff207eb1ec7f658e55cb10b835decf7.jpg?v=1788746876","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/harvey-tool-956132-c3-ball-end-mill-0-5-in-6-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
