Hertel E599924485 Ball End Mill 0.0313 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E599924485 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles. With a 0.0313-inch (1/32-inch) cutting diameter and a 0.0781-inch (5/64-inch) length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature machining where dimensional accuracy is critical. The micrograin carbide substrate supports edge sharpness and wear resistance at elevated cutting speeds. A 30-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This end mill ships as a single-end tool and is installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and CNC operators working in precision manufacturing environments.

This tool is well suited for light-duty finishing and profiling passes on metals and engineered materials where a tight radius and small step-over are required. The 0.0313-inch diameter makes it appropriate for micro-milling applications such as engraving, die-sinking, and detail work on molds or fixtures. The uncoated finish allows for straightforward regrinding and is compatible with cutting fluids commonly used in ferrous and non-ferrous machining. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and toolholders found on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Key Features

• 0.0313-inch (1/32-inch) ball nose cutting diameter for small-feature and micro-milling applications
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and edge retention
• 30-degree right-hand helix for effective chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• 0.0781-inch (5/64-inch) length of cut minimizes deflection during fine detail passes
• Uncoated finish suitable for regrinding and compatible with standard cutting fluids
• Single-end design with 1/8-inch shank for use in standard collet toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use ball end mill for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/8-inch shank collet or toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state before inserting or removing the end mill. Verify collet condition and cleanliness before seating the shank to maintain concentricity. At 0.0313-inch diameter, this tool is sensitive to excessive feed rates and lateral loading — follow calculated chip load values for the specific workpiece material.
