The tool runs a 0.5-inch cutting diameter with a 1.625-inch length of cut and a 35-degree helix angle, a geometry specifically suited to aluminum's chip evacuation demands. The Zplus coating reduces built-up edge and improves lubricity at the cutting interface. At 4 inches overall length with a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank, the 01482 fits standard ER collet chucks and side-lock holders commonly used on vertical machining centers and CNC routers. This is a single-end, centercutting tool, so it supports plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 01482 is positioned for production and job-shop environments where aluminum and light alloys are primary workpiece materials. The 3-flute configuration balances chip clearance with rigidity, making it effective for high-speed finishing passes and moderate-depth roughing in wrought aluminum alloys. The right-hand cut, right-hand helical flute design is the standard orientation for conventional CNC setups. Machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, automotive, and general fabrication shops will find this geometry appropriate for both floor-standing machining centers and compact 3-axis routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in high-RPM aluminum applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation, reducing re-cutting in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZplus coating lowers friction and resists built-up edge on non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge milling entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute geometry balances chip clearance and wall finish in slotting and profiling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER collets and side-lock toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the HELICAL SOLUTIONS End Mills for Aluminum - 3 Flute - Square - 35 Degree Helix series.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the controller is in an E-stop or locked-out state before loading or unloading the tool. Clean the shank and collet bore of chips and coolant residue before seating to prevent runout. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended torque specification for the collet nut, and verify tool projection and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zplus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.322 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HELICAL SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01482\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730486853938,"sku":"01482","price":153.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f44da248eba5cbb0356f375832547885_7a0ea506-0b9a-40c3-98fe-23f1ad3da7a2.jpg?v=1788718312","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-01482-square-end-mill-0-5-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
