The 1\/8 inch cutting diameter and 3\/8 inch length of cut make it well suited for intricate profiling, contouring, and finishing passes in tight geometries. A 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces built-up edge when cutting soft, gummy materials. The Zplus PVD coating adds lubricity and wear resistance without adding significant edge radius, preserving sharpness across both roughing and finishing operations. This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, aerospace, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 49036 is engineered specifically for non-ferrous metals, with aluminum alloys as the primary workpiece material. The single-end, right-hand cutting configuration with a straight-cylindrical 1\/8 inch shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. The 2 inch overall length provides enough clearance for most short-reach setups while keeping deflection minimal at this diameter. Variable pitch geometry reduces harmonic chatter during aggressive passes, making it effective across both finishing and light roughing applications in aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZplus PVD coating reduces friction and resists built-up edge on aluminum and soft metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree high helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and clean surface finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch flute spacing minimizes chatter during roughing and finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall nose geometry enables 3D contouring, profiling, and radius floor work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eh6 tolerance on both mill diameter and shank diameter for consistent runout control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum alloys and non-ferrous materials as part of the HELICAL SOLUTIONS 3 Flute Ball 40 Helix Variable Pitch End Mills for Aluminum Alloys and Non-Ferrous Materials series.

Confirm spindle and toolholder are fully de-energized and at rest before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended gauge line and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout at the cutting tip before beginning a production run, as the maximum TIR for this tool is 0.0003 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.125 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: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0625 inches\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 (PVD)\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\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\u003eMaximum TIR\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.013 pounds\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: 49036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732403192114,"sku":"49036","price":67.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0386461b81181a3167350060a0d7b8dc_4a65b4c8-fb3c-482d-b854-3c131fe0f5b3.jpg?v=1788742446","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-49036-ball-end-mill-1-8-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
