Hertel E1050046 Square End Mill 23/32 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL E1050046 is a double-end, square-profile end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shop and production environments. Manufactured from M7 grade high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool features a 23/32-inch (0.7188 inch) cutting diameter and a 1-5/16-inch (1.3125 inch) length of cut. The two-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a range of workpiece materials. Centercutting capability allows plunge milling in addition to standard peripheral and slot milling passes. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this end mill.

This end mill is suited for light-to-medium material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar machinable materials. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life and reducing per-use tooling cost. With a 3/4-inch shank diameter and a 5-inch overall length, it fits standard collets and end mill holders on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines. The regular length classification makes it appropriate for everyday slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling tasks where rigidity is a priority over extended reach.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine power is locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 3/4-inch shank and torque the retention mechanism to the holder manufacturer's specification. Confirm tool runout with an indicator before commencing cuts to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
