Hertel E1031032 Square End Mill 0.5in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL E1031032 is a 4-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and tool rooms. Built from M7 high speed steel, this end mill delivers reliable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.5 inch diameter cutting edge pairs with a 0.5 inch shank, making it compatible with standard collet and end mill holders. With a 1.5 inch length of cut and 3.25 inch overall length, it handles moderate-depth slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling tasks. Machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is suited for use on vertical and horizontal milling machines as well as CNC machining centers in both job shop and production environments. The spiral flute geometry and 30-degree helix angle promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional milling setups. It is not centercutting, so it is not intended for direct plunge operations. Use cases include shoulder milling, contouring, and slotting where a non-centercutting tool geometry is acceptable.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction provides good toughness and wear resistance for general milling
• 4-flute design improves surface finish and feed rate capability compared to 2-flute alternatives
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow during spiral flute cutting
• Uncoated finish allows for straightforward resharpening and regrinding
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation suits standard milling machine spindle setups
• 0.5 inch shank diameter fits common collets and end mill holders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank end mill for use in 0.5 inch collets, end mill holders, and milling chucks on vertical mills, horizontal mills, and CNC machining centers that accept right-hand tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the collet or set screw is torqued to the machine manufacturer specification. This tool is not centercutting and must be ramped or side-entered into the workpiece rather than plunged axially.
