It carries a Zplus PVD coating and runs a 40-degree high helix angle, both of which are optimized to reduce built-up edge and improve chip evacuation in gummy non-ferrous materials. The cutting diameter is 0.2500 inches with a 0.1250-inch nose radius, a 0.7500-inch length of cut, and an overall length of 2.5000 inches. The shank diameter matches the cutting diameter at 0.2500 inches. This tool is intended for use in CNC machining centers operated by skilled machinists and tooling specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 49106 is built for roughing and finishing operations in aluminum alloys and non-ferrous materials, covering the full range from profiling and pocketing to contouring passes. Its standard-length geometry suits typical setups in production and job-shop environments where a compact, rigid reach is preferred. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER collet systems and side-lock holders commonly used with vertical and horizontal machining centers. No extended reach configuration is present, keeping deflection low in standard-depth applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.2500-inch cutting diameter with h6 shank and mill diameter tolerances for consistent runout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZplus PVD coating reduces friction and built-up edge in aluminum and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree high helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and smooth surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute geometry balances chip load capacity with chip clearance for non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall end profile enables 3D contouring, ramp entry, and radius floor finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum TIR of 0.0003 inches supports precision finishing requirements\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 (Primary Workpiece Material Code: N).

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool-change cycle is complete before handling. Seat the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the collet nut to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout at the cutting tip with a dial indicator before beginning the first cut, as the listed TIR maximum of 0.0003 inches is achieved only with a properly maintained, clean collet and holder bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 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: 0.7500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\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\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\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\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0620 \/ -0.0620 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum TIR\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0003 inches\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\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.053 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: 49106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739739783474,"sku":"49106","price":82.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0386461b81181a3167350060a0d7b8dc_49006180-4aba-44e1-89af-a1244d3a68e9.jpg?v=1788818389","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-49106-ball-end-mill-0-25-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
