Built to the HEV-6 series specification, it features a variable index geometry that reduces harmonics and chatter during aggressive cuts. The 0.5000-inch diameter cutter carries an APLUS PVD coating applied over the carbide substrate, improving lubricity and wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. With a 1.6250-inch length of cut and a 4.0000-inch overall length, this tool is suited for medium-depth profiling, contouring, and 3D surfacing operations. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is engineered primarily for steel and stainless steel machining, with rated capability in cast iron and high-temperature alloys as well. The ball nose profile and 0.2500-inch nose radius make it well suited for 3D contour milling, die and mold work, and complex surface finishing passes where a radiused tip is required. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration are standard for conventional CNC milling setups. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard ER or side-lock toolholders in the 0.5000-inch bore size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-flute, variable index design reduces chatter and improves surface finish in steel and high-temp alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPLUS PVD coating delivers enhanced heat and wear resistance for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.2500-inch nose radius ball profile supports 3D contouring, die work, and radius surfacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate (Material Grade: Carbide) provides rigidity and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end, centercutting geometry allows plunge entry and ramp entry moves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration for standard CNC milling spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with standard 0.5000-inch bore toolholders. Primary workpiece materials are steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material codes P, M, K, S). Secondary workpiece material is steel (ISO code P).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool is installed by machinists using standard ER collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, or side-lock holders sized for a 0.5000-inch shank diameter. Confirm runout does not exceed the 0.0005-inch TIR maximum before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and reduces surface quality. Always bring the spindle to a complete stop before handling or measuring the tool. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting offsets and tool length compensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.6250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.0000 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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\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\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\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\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\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\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High-Temp Alloy\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HEV-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.346 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: 59449\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739534000434,"sku":"59449","price":214.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f73466dd1bb1f2ce02cab10a435a9c90_98bc09d7-27c5-46ea-93f6-0c520e08eeae.jpg?v=1788815854","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-59449-ball-end-mill-0-5-in-6-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
