Hertel E1053032 Square End Mill 0.5in 4-flute Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL E1053032 is a double-end, four-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, and plastics. Manufactured from M7 high speed steel, it delivers reliable wear resistance in production and maintenance environments. The 0.5 inch cutting diameter, 1 inch length of cut, and 30-degree spiral helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The centercutting geometry allows for direct plunging into workpiece material without a pre-drilled starting hole. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom professionals using vertical or horizontal milling machines and CNC machining centers.

This end mill is suited for face milling, slotting, profiling, and contouring in both manual and CNC applications. The double-end configuration maximizes tool life by providing two usable cutting ends. The regular-length classification makes it appropriate for standard reach applications where extended-reach tooling is not required. Its right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are compatible with conventional spindle rotation on standard milling machines. The uncoated M7 HSS construction is well-suited for general shop use and regrinding programs.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose milling
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge cuts without a starter hole
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation during slotting and profiling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle compatibility
• Uncoated finish supports regrinding and resharpening in toolroom environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom supply for milling machines and CNC machining centers accepting a 0.5 inch straight shank end mill.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by machinists using an appropriate end mill holder, collet chuck, or side-lock holder sized for a 0.5 inch shank. Confirm 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 ensure concentricity within acceptable tolerance. Always observe machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety protocols when setting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.
