Hertel E5018048 Ball End Mill 0.75 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E5018048 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.75 inch cutting diameter and a 3 inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers consistent performance in contouring, profiling, and 3D surface work. The 2-flute geometry and 30-degree helix angle support efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. At 6 inches overall length with a 3/4 inch shank diameter, it fits standard tool holders used in vertical and horizontal machining centers. This tool is suited for machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, production facilities, and toolrooms.

The E5018048 is well suited for applications requiring accurate radius geometry at the tool tip, including mold work, die finishing, and complex part contouring. The uncoated solid carbide construction is appropriate for use in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coating is not required or where the operator prefers an uncoated substrate for specific cutting conditions. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling setups.

Key Features

• 0.75 inch ball end diameter for accurate radius profiling and contouring
• 3 inch length of cut allows reach into deeper pockets and cavities
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and profiling cuts
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Uncoated finish for versatility across compatible workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill with a 3/4 inch straight shank, compatible with standard ER and side-lock tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting that shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout after clamping using an indicator before beginning any cut. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling guidelines for feeds, speeds, and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material.
