With a 0.125 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, this tool handles profiling, contouring, and slotting in tight geometries where rigidity and edge retention are critical. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. At 3 inches overall length with a 1\/8 inch shank, it fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders common on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The bright, uncoated carbide substrate performs well in aluminum, plastics, and other non-ferrous workpieces without coating-related built-up edge concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments running contour milling, 3D surfacing, and radius profiling on small-scale features. The single-end configuration is standard for replaceable tooling programs. Its compact diameter makes it a go-to for detail work, mold and die finishing, and fine-feature machining where larger diameter tools cannot reach. Machinists working on CNC vertical machining centers or high-speed spindles will find the two-flute design favorable for chip clearance in softer materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125 inch ball nose diameter for tight-radius contouring and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides superior rigidity and wear resistance versus HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip flow and reduced tool deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suits aluminum, plastics, and non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-flute geometry maximizes chip clearance in slotting and pocketing operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 1\/8 inch straight shank fits standard ER collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use ball end mill compatible with any machine spindle accepting a 1\/8 inch straight shank via ER collet, end mill holder, or precision collet chuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine is placed in an E-stop or locked-out state before inserting or removing tooling. Seat the shank to the full recommended insertion depth in the collet or holder and torque the retention nut per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to improper handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: E5018008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730410766642,"sku":"E5018008","price":45.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a07bfb17eb3372fa952d390bf9095504.jpg?v=1788716987","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-e5018008-ball-end-mill-0-125-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
