Hertel E5060024 Ball End Mill 0.375 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E5060024 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and engineered plastics. With a 0.375-inch cutting diameter and four flutes, it delivers a balance of material removal rate and surface finish quality. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. At 3.0 inches overall length with a 1.125-inch length of cut, this single-end tool fits standard tool holders with a 3/8-inch shank. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional CNC machining center setups. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This ball end mill is suited for contour milling, profiling, slotting, and 3D surfacing operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The uncoated solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for use in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coolant is applied directly. The single-end configuration allows for straightforward tool-holder mounting without reversal. Typical applications include die and mold work, aerospace component machining, and general-purpose shop floor milling where tight tolerances and consistent geometry are required.

Key Features

• 0.375-inch ball end cutting diameter for contour and profile milling
• Four-flute design balances chip load capacity with surface finish
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Uncoated finish suitable for wet-machining applications with direct coolant
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute — compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/8-inch straight shank tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool-holding procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the tool changer is in a safe state before inserting or removing end mills. Use a calibrated torque wrench and appropriate collet or end-mill holder rated for the shank diameter. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut.
