Hertel 750562 Square End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 750562 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. It features a 1/2 inch mill diameter with a 2-flute configuration and a 30-degree helix angle, making it well-suited for general-purpose slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The tool is TiN coated for improved wear resistance and longer tool life. With a micrograin carbide substrate, it holds a sharp cutting edge under demanding conditions. This end mill is centercutting, allowing it to plunge directly into the workpiece. It is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC and manual milling applications.

This end mill is appropriate for use in both production shops and job shops performing milling on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling centers and knee mills. The 5/8 inch length of cut supports moderate-depth passes, while the 2-1/2 inch overall length keeps the tool rigid and minimizes deflection. It is a single-piece solid carbide tool with no extended reach, suited for direct spindle collet or end mill holder mounting.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for edge retention and hardness
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in abrasive materials
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 30-degree helix angle balances chip evacuation and cutting stability
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flutes for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• No chipbreaker, variable helix, or variable index for predictable, consistent cutting geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch shank square end mill compatible with collet chucks, end mill holders, and milling arbors sized for 1/2 inch shank tooling on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, and confirm feed and speed parameters match the workpiece material and coating type.
