With a 3\/16-inch cutting diameter and a 9\/16-inch length of cut, this single-end mill carries a variable index geometry that reduces harmonic vibration during both roughing and finishing passes. The APLUS PVD coating improves heat resistance and surface hardness, extending tool life in abrasive materials. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a 3\/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank. A 37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces across a range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is engineered for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high-temperature alloys, and tool steels. It is suited to CNC machining centers running tight-tolerance contour work, profiling, and slotting operations where both material removal rate and surface finish quality are priorities. The ball nose geometry makes it particularly effective for 3D contouring and complex curved surfaces on ferrous and nickel-based workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-flute variable index design reduces chatter and harmonic vibration during aggressive cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPLUS PVD coating provides elevated thermal resistance and wear protection for extended tool life in hard steels and high-temp alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37-degree right-hand helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and dimensional stability in tight-tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall nose profile supports 3D contour milling, profiling, and finishing of curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 84412 belongs to the HELICAL SOLUTIONS HEV-6 series and is rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material codes P, M, K, S).

Seat the 3\/16-inch straight shank fully and squarely in a precision collet or end mill holder rated for the shank diameter before tightening. Verify TIR does not exceed 0.0005 inches at the cutting edge after clamping. Set appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the workpiece material and depth of cut per the machine tool manufacturer and tooling data sheets before beginning the operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inch (0.5620 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0938 inches\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HEV-6\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.033 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\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: 84412\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733079195954,"sku":"84412","price":64.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f73466dd1bb1f2ce02cab10a435a9c90_5397f378-f98f-4fec-9bb2-995b35919bf9.jpg?v=1788751162","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-84412-ball-end-mill-3-16-in-6-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
