Hertel E599924488 Ball End Mill 9/32 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E599924488 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and composite materials. With a 9/32 inch (0.2813 inch) cutting diameter and a 3/4 inch length of cut, this tool delivers accurate profiling, contouring, and slotting in a compact form factor. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. It is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with a right-hand flute spiral, suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills in production and job-shop environments. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users.

This end mill is well suited for finish profiling, 3D contouring, and pocket milling where a ball nose geometry is required to produce curved or radiused surfaces. The 5/16 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders commonly found in small-to-medium CNC machining setups. The bright, uncoated finish makes it appropriate for a range of general-purpose milling applications where a coated tool is not required. It belongs to the HBSC2-CC series and is rated as a fractional-inch measurement tool.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding milling operations
• Ball nose geometry enables profiling and contouring of curved and radiused surfaces
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flutes for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose milling without coating requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fractional-inch ball end mill compatible with standard 5/16 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the 5/16 inch shank fully and evenly in the collet or tool holder to the recommended gauge length before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation, as excessive runout will accelerate tool wear and degrade surface finish quality.
