Hertel 750170 Square End Mill 0.5in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 750170 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, alloy, and composite materials. With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, 1 inch length of cut, and 2-flute spiral geometry at a 30-degree helix angle, this tool removes material efficiently while maintaining surface finish quality. The square end profile produces flat-bottomed cuts, slots, and pockets. It is uncoated solid carbide, offering rigidity and edge retention in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is suited for slotting, peripheral milling, and plunge operations in both manual mills and CNC machining centers. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece without a pilot hole. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute orientation are standard for conventional and climb milling setups. The 0.5 inch shank diameter matches common ER and side-lock toolholders. Overall length of 2.5 inches provides clearance for standard setups without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• 2-flute spiral design at 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Right-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute orientation
• Uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of base materials
• Square end profile for flat-bottomed slots and pockets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 0.5 inch collet chucks, ER collets, and side-lock toolholders on vertical mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Verify tool runout with a dial indicator before cutting to avoid premature edge wear or tool failure.
