Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this tool delivers heat resistance and edge retention where standard HSS tooling falls short. The 30-degree right-hand spiral helix promotes efficient chip evacuation across the 1.25-inch length of cut. With a bright, uncoated finish and centercutting capability, it handles both plunge and peripheral cutting in a single setup. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this end mill for slotting, profiling, and side milling on manual and CNC machine tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for ferrous metal machining including steel alloys, stainless, and cast iron where cobalt-grade tooling is the standard choice. The regular-length geometry and 0.5-inch shank diameter fit a wide range of collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders common in job shops and production environments. The 3.25-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most standard workholding setups without sacrificing rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction for superior heat resistance and edge retention in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-flute geometry provides a higher feed rate and improved surface finish compared to 4-flute designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand helix promotes positive chip flow and reduces cutting pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suits applications where coating adhesion or coolant compatibility is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional CNC and manual milling machine spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct specification end mill for machine tool setups requiring a 1\/2-inch shank, 6-flute, cobalt square end mill with a regular-length 1-1\/4-inch length of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician using an appropriate end mill holder, collet chuck, or Weldon-style holder rated for the 0.5-inch shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the tool. Inspect the tool shank and holder bore for chips or damage before securing. Follow machine tool manufacturer runout and torque specifications for the holder type in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.504 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: E2042032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731105251634,"sku":"E2042032","price":56.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2282a6d9826278e297e317413ec4074c.jpg?v=1788727024","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-e2042032-square-end-mill-1-2-in-6-flute-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
