The 3-flute, single-end geometry with a 40-degree high-helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup during aggressive cuts. At 3\/8 inches in diameter with a 2-inch length of cut and 4-inch overall length, this tool handles both roughing and finishing operations in a single setup. The Zplus PVD coating improves lubricity and tool life in non-ferrous applications. A variable pitch flute spacing helps dampen chatter, making it well-suited for high-speed machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in CNC milling operations targeting aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous metals. Its long-length configuration allows access to deeper features such as pockets, slots, and contoured surfaces. The ball-nose profile makes it particularly effective for 3D contouring and profiling passes. Machinists working in job shop, production, or aerospace-adjacent environments will find the combination of carbide substrate and Zplus coating effective for maintaining sharp cutting edges across extended run times in non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with Zplus PVD coating for extended tool life in aluminum and non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree high-helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute variable pitch design dampens vibration and chatter during high-speed cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall-nose geometry supports both roughing and finishing passes in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-length series with 2-inch reach and 4-inch OAL for access to deep pockets and contoured features\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for consistent runout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum alloys and non-ferrous metals as part of the Helical Solutions 3 Flute Ball 40 Helix Variable Pitch End Mills for Aluminum Alloys and Non-Ferrous Materials series.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder that matches the 3\/8-inch shank diameter to maintain runout within the specified TIR of 0.0003 inches. Confirm tool projection and reach clearance before initiating the first cut to avoid tool-holder collision with the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 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\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\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\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\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\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0003 inches\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.176 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: 82464\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740237103410,"sku":"82464","price":144.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0386461b81181a3167350060a0d7b8dc_9d982265-1ac0-4330-aa67-380bfec795e7.jpg?v=1788823680","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-82464-ball-end-mill-3-8in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
