It features a 0.5000 inch mill diameter, a 0.0300 inch corner radius, and three helical flutes with a variable index pitch for reduced chatter and improved surface finish. The Zplus PVD coating is applied to extend tool life in aluminum and non-ferrous metal applications, though the tool is also rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high temperature alloys, and hard materials. It is installed in high-precision toolholders by machinists and CNC operators in job shops and manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers handling a wide range of workpiece materials. The primary application is aluminum and non-ferrous metals, with secondary capability in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high temperature alloys, and hard materials. The stub-length, single-end configuration with a straight-cylindrical shank makes it a practical choice for precision profiling, slotting, and contour milling where corner geometry control is critical. The centercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0300 inch corner radius with a tolerance of -0.0020 to 0.0020 inches for controlled edge geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index, high-helix flute design reduces harmonics and chatter during aggressive cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZplus PVD coating enhances wear resistance and tool life in aluminum and non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting construction enables direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand flute direction and cutting orientation compatible with standard CNC spindle configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIR maximum of 0.0003 inches ensures runout is tightly controlled when seated in a high-precision toolholder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 48346 is designed for use with high-precision toolholders and is rated for aluminum, non-ferrous metals, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high temperature alloys, and hard materials.

Seat the straight-cylindrical shank fully in a high-precision toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting, as this tool has a TIR maximum of 0.0003 inches. Do not exceed the recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material being machined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0300 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0020 to 0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zplus (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High Temperature Alloy, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: H40ALV-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.214 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: HELICAL SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48346\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740771811634,"sku":"48346","price":129.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a6bc5093dde92525d4bab6e9e3631dba_189bcdbd-83c6-41c4-a760-dab53290220c.jpg?v=1788827345","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-48346-corner-radius-end-mill-0-5in-3-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
