It features a 0.25 inch cutting diameter with a 1.5 inch length of cut and a 4 inch overall length. The two-flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction make it well suited for profiling, contouring, and slotting operations where a smooth ball-nose finish is required. A TiN (titanium nitride) coating improves surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in production environments. Machinists and CNC operators install this tool in standard 0.25 inch shank holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills performing finish and semi-finish milling on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites. The single-end configuration and solid carbide construction make it a practical choice for job shops and production floors where consistent tool geometry is critical. The right-hand flute direction is standard for conventional and climb milling on most CNC platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25 inch cutting diameter with 1.5 inch length of cut for reach into moderate-depth features\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-flute design promotes chip evacuation in slotting and contouring applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration for direct installation in collet or end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any CNC or manual milling machine spindle accepting a 0.25 inch shank end mill holder, collet chuck, or shrink-fit toolholder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians using a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or shrink-fit system rated for 0.25 inch shanks. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or locked-out state before inserting or removing the tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tool installation to confirm proper seating. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and coating type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: E6018016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739513684274,"sku":"E6018016","price":81.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9f10bedff587fce7b7ce4dc0c0b855ab.jpg?v=1788815515","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-e6018016-ball-end-mill-0-25-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
