Hertel 750157 Square End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 750157 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) cutting diameter and 2 spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle, this end mill delivers clean, accurate cuts in tight geometries. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. The uncoated solid carbide construction provides rigidity and edge retention suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This tool is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals running CNC machining centers, manual mills, and similar equipment.

This end mill is well suited for small-feature milling, slotting, and profiling where tight tolerances and small cutter diameters are required. The 3/16 inch length of cut, 1/8 inch shank diameter, and 1-1/2 inch overall length make it a practical choice for fine detail work on dies, molds, fixtures, and prototype components. The right-hand cutting direction and spiral flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation at small diameters.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention at small diameters
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 30-degree helix angle with spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of base materials
• Single end design with 2 flutes for clean slot and profile milling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank end mill compatible with 1/8 inch collets and tool holders used in CNC machining centers, vertical milling machines, and similar spindle setups requiring small-diameter cutters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or tool holder. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the collet and torque the collet nut according to the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as solid carbide tools at small diameters are susceptible to breakage if runout is excessive or clamping is inadequate.
