Hertel E5249008 Ball End Mill 0.125 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E5249008 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.125-inch diameter and a 0.5-inch length of cut, this single-end tool is built for contouring, profiling, and 3D surface work where a spherical cutting tip is required. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The uncoated carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance suitable for a wide range of milling applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this style of end mill for tight-tolerance work in CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This ball end mill is well suited for use in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments handling mold work, die cavities, and contoured part features. The 0.125-inch shank diameter matches the mill diameter, allowing it to seat directly in standard collet systems. With a 1.5-inch overall length, it provides adequate reach for most shallow-to-medium depth pocket and surface finishing operations without sacrificing rigidity. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 0.125-inch ball nose diameter for contouring and 3D surface milling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slot and profile cuts
• 30-degree helix angle for smooth cutting action and efficient chip evacuation
• Uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank solid carbide ball end mill compatible with 0.125-inch collet chucks and collet-style tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet to the recommended engagement depth and torque the collet nut per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.
