Hertel E5022002 Square End Mill 1/32 Inch 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E5022002 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in tight geometries and small-feature work. With a 0.0313-inch (1/32 inch) cutting diameter and a 1/16-inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 30-degree spiral helix and two-flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces at small diameters. The uncoated carbide construction makes it suitable for applications where sharp edge retention and substrate integrity are priorities. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this end mill.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills performing slotting, profiling, and plunging operations on small features. The 1/8-inch shank diameter allows fitment in standard collets and tool holders common to benchtop and full-size machining equipment. The centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Applications include mold and die work, prototype machining, and precision part production where small-diameter tooling is required.

Key Features

• 0.0313-inch (1/32 inch) cutting diameter for fine detail and small-feature milling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• 30-degree helix spiral flute promotes chip clearance and reduces deflection
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Right-hand cut with two flutes for balanced cutting forces
• Uncoated finish preserves sharp cutting edge geometry out of the box

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-geometry square end mill compatible with 1/8-inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling setup procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8-inch shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut to the holder manufacturer specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, particularly at this diameter where runout has an outsized effect on tool life and surface finish.
