Hertel E599924528 Ball End Mill 5/16 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E599924528 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.3125-inch cutting diameter and a 0.5-inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers consistent material removal in profiling, contouring, and slotting applications. The 4-flute configuration and 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and improved surface finish on finished passes. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for demanding CNC machining environments. The tool ships uncoated and is suited for use as-is or as a base for post-coating processes.

This ball end mill is a standard fit for CNC machining centers and manual mills where close-tolerance 3D profiling or radius work is required. The 0.3125-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing direct chuck or collet mounting. With a 2-inch overall length, it is appropriate for shallow-to-medium depth setups where tool deflection must be minimized. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in job shops, production environments, and toolroom settings will find this a practical general-purpose end mill for both roughing and finishing passes at appropriate feed and speed parameters.

Key Features

• 0.3125-inch ball end cutting diameter for radius and contour milling
• 4-flute geometry supports higher feed rates and improved finish quality
• 30-degree right-hand helix for effective chip evacuation
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• Uncoated finish suitable for dry or flood coolant applications
• Single-end design with right-hand cutting direction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 5/16-inch collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines for tool holding and runout tolerances. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an e-stop or powered-down state before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the recommended minimum grip depth to reduce deflection and chatter. Verify spindle speed and feed rate parameters against the applicable speeds-and-feeds chart for the workpiece material before initiating a cut.
