Hertel E599924504 Ball End Mill 0.2188 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E599924504 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.2188 inch (7/32 inch) cutting diameter and a 0.5 inch length of cut, this tool handles contour milling, profiling, and 3D surface work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 2-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation in slotting and side milling cuts. The bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose applications where coating is not required. This end mill is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.

This ball end mill is suited for light-to-medium milling passes on metals, composites, and plastics in both manual and CNC machining centers. The 0.25 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in vertical machining centers and milling machines. The single-end configuration and 2 inch overall length make it a practical choice for reach-limited setups where a compact tool is preferred. Right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional machine spindle configurations.

Key Features

• 0.2188 inch (7/32 inch) ball nose cutting diameter for contour and profile milling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance versus high-speed steel alternatives
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and plunge operations
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency with edge strength
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling on a range of materials
• Single-end, right-hand cut configuration for standard CNC and manual mill spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end ball end mill with a 0.25 inch shank diameter, compatible with collet chucks and end mill holders accepting 0.25 inch shanks on vertical machining centers and knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the collet or holder and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to avoid premature edge wear or tool breakage.
