With a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter and a 3 inch length of cut, this single-end tool handles deep-cavity profiling, contouring, and 3D surface work. The 2-flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright\/uncoated finish makes it a versatile baseline option for general-purpose milling where coating is not required. Licensed machinists and tooling technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball end mill is suited for CNC milling centers and manual knee mills operating in job shop, tool and die, mold making, and maintenance machining environments. The 1\/2 inch shank diameter is compatible with standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are the standard configuration for conventional CNC spindle setups. The 6 inch overall length provides reach for deeper workpiece features without requiring extended-reach adapters in most setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance compared to HSS alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall-nose profile for 3D contouring, radius profiling, and blending operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute design with 30-degree helix for efficient chip flow and smooth surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting capability allows plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for use with or without coolant across a range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration; 6 inch OAL with 1\/2 inch shank for broad toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill in the HBSC2-CC series, compatible with standard 1\/2 inch end mill holders, ER collet chucks, and shrink-fit toolholders used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or quill is locked before mounting or removing the end mill. Verify toolholder runout is within acceptable limits before operation, as excessive runout will reduce tool life and surface finish quality. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for tool clamping torque and maximum RPM ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\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: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HBSC2-CC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 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: E5018032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738687799602,"sku":"E5018032","price":205.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8d4c70faf42a5a3b595ecd5db8181d60.jpg?v=1788802859","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-e5018032-ball-end-mill-1-2-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
