It carries a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, with a 3 inch overall length and a 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The APLUS PVD coating provides thermal and wear resistance suited to ferrous workpiece materials. Variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration during aggressive cuts, making this tool effective for both roughing and finishing passes in a single setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is built for CNC machining centers and manual mills used in production shops, tool-and-die operations, and job shops working with ferrous metals. It is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with helical flutes and is well suited for profiling, slotting, and contouring operations on steel and cast iron components. Standard-length geometry and a straight shank make it compatible with conventional collet and end mill holder systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPLUS PVD coating rated for steel, stainless steel, tool steel, and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index flute geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute design supports both roughing and finishing material removal\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 helical flutes for standard CNC spindle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in milling operations on steel, stainless steel, tool steel, and cast iron workpiece materials.

Secure the shank fully in a collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify spindle and tool runout does not exceed the 0.0005 inch TIR maximum before beginning a cut. Always confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing or adjusting tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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: APLUS PVD\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\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron\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: +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inches\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\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 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: 56512\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728536699186,"sku":"56512","price":159.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e9c8bc55c4f31badf2181f4032989dca_fbc71e31-2cd8-4909-ae1a-3be89e8863ee.jpg?v=1788692928","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-56512-ball-end-mill-1-2-in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
