It carries a 5\/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut, and a 40-degree high-helix geometry that promotes chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup in gummy non-ferrous materials. The Zplus PVD coating adds surface hardness and lubricity suited to aluminum applications. At 3-1\/2 inches overall length with a straight cylindrical 5\/8 inch shank, it seats in standard ER or shrink-fit toolholders. Machinists and CNC programmers specify this tool for both roughing and finishing passes in a single setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is built for CNC machining centers running aluminum alloys, copper, brass, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. The single-end, right-hand cut configuration suits conventional vertical and horizontal milling applications. The 40-degree high-helix spiral flute design reduces axial cutting forces and improves surface finish on soft, stringy alloys. Variable pitch geometry helps dampen chatter at aggressive feed rates, making it a practical choice for production shops running high spindle speeds in aluminum aerospace, automotive, or general fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute solid carbide construction for strength and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree high-helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces built-up edge in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZplus PVD coating provides hardness and lubricity optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable pitch flute spacing reduces chatter at high feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall nose geometry with 0.3125 inch nose radius enables contoured and 3D surface machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoughing and finishing capability in a single tool reduces setup changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum alloys and non-ferrous metals in standard CNC milling applications requiring a 5\/8 inch straight cylindrical shank and single-end ball geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool change is completed with the machine in a safe state before seating or removing the end mill. Use a torque-rated collet nut wrench when securing in ER-style toolholders to achieve proper runout within the specified TIR maximum of 0.0003 inch. Confirm shank seating depth against holder specifications before running at operating spindle speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 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: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches (3.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\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\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\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\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\u003eTIR Maximum\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: 0.437 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: 49346\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740847178034,"sku":"49346","price":271.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0386461b81181a3167350060a0d7b8dc_6ec98288-10a3-4bdf-8992-df0625c60784.jpg?v=1788827826","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-49346-ball-end-mill-5-8-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
