Hertel E1050032 Square End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL E1050032 is a double-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Constructed from M7 high speed steel, it offers a 1/2 inch cutting diameter with a 13/16 inch length of cut and a 3-3/4 inch overall length. The 30-degree spiral flute geometry and right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction promote efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance. With two flutes and a centercutting design, this end mill is capable of plunge cutting as well as peripheral and slot milling. It is installed and operated by machinists and toolmakers on manual and CNC milling machines.

This end mill suits light to medium-duty milling tasks in job shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. The regular length classification and 1/2 inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard ER and side-lock toolholders commonly found in vertical machining centers and knee mills. The uncoated M7 high speed steel construction is well suited for lower-speed applications and materials such as mild steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics where tooling cost and regrindability are priorities.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction for durability and regrindability
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge and slot entry
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced chatter
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling spindles
• Uncoated finish suitable for regrinding and use with cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for 1/2 inch shank milling applications; no specific machine model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists using standard collet chucks, end mill holders, or side-lock toolholders rated for 1/2 inch shank diameters. Always ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool to confirm proper chuck engagement. Follow applicable machine tool manufacturer guidelines and shop safety protocols when operating milling equipment.
