It features a 0.5-inch mill diameter, a 1.25-inch length of cut, and a 40-degree high-helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation in gummy, ductile materials. The Zplus PVD coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life in aluminum and other non-ferrous applications. With a 0.25-inch nose radius and right-hand cutting and flute direction, this tool is suited for both roughing and finishing passes in a single setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is built for CNC machining centers and manual mills running aluminum alloys, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals. The standard-length, straight-cylindrical shank fits common 0.5-inch toolholders and collet systems. It is a single-end tool, making it appropriate for high-speed profiling, slotting, and 3D contouring operations where surface finish and material removal rate both matter. The variable-pitch geometry helps reduce harmonic chatter during aggressive cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree high-helix angle promotes chip evacuation in aluminum and ductile materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZplus PVD coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute variable-pitch geometry reduces chatter during roughing and finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall nose profile with 0.25-inch nose radius enables 3D contouring and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; compatible with standard CNC toolholding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum alloys and non-ferrous metals (Primary Workpiece Material Code: N).

Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the recommended gauge-line depth before tightening. Verify runout does not exceed the maximum TIR of 0.0003 inches after seating. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material and machine rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0000 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\u003eNose Radius\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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: High\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\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\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\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\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\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.238 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: 49286\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742378164530,"sku":"49286","price":165.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0386461b81181a3167350060a0d7b8dc_f029567d-520b-4b09-a09f-0e76e8e60a1b.jpg?v=1788837081","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-49286-ball-end-mill-0-5in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
