Hertel E5249036 Ball End Mill 0.5625 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E5249036 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. With a 0.5625-inch mill diameter and a 1.25-inch length of cut, it delivers consistent performance in profiling, contouring, and slotting tasks. The 2-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the 30-degree helix angle supports smooth cutting action across a range of workpiece materials. At 3.5 inches overall length with a 0.5625-inch shank diameter, this single-end tool is sized for standard milling chucks and collet holders. The uncoated solid carbide substrate offers rigidity and wear resistance suited for general-purpose CNC and manual milling work.

This ball end mill is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments where close-tolerance 3D contouring and radius profiling are required. It is appropriate for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites in both CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The single-end configuration means the tool is replaced when the cutting end is worn rather than indexed or flipped. Right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional spindle rotation setups.

Key Features

• 0.5625-inch ball nose diameter for radius profiling and 3D contouring
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and profiling cuts
• 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish
• Uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling across multiple materials
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute for standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank solid carbide ball end mill compatible with milling chucks, ER collet holders, and shrink-fit toolholders accepting a 0.5625-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out per applicable shop safety procedures. Ensure the collet or chuck bore is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for the toolholder being used.
