Hertel E6249036 Ball End Mill 0.5625 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL E6249036 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composite, and hardened material applications. It features a 0.5625-inch (9/16-inch) mill diameter, a 1.25-inch length of cut, and a titanium nitride (TiN) coating that improves surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge. The 2-flute geometry allows for efficient chip evacuation, making it well-suited for slotting, profiling, and 3D contouring. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this end mill in CNC machining centers and manual mills using a standard collet or end mill holder.

This single-end ball end mill is used in job shops, production environments, and toolroom applications where contoured surfaces and radial profiles are required. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC setups. With a 0.5625-inch shank diameter matching the cutter diameter, it fits directly into common collet systems without a reducer. Typical applications include die and mold work, finishing passes on curved surfaces, and ramping operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 0.5625-inch (9/16-inch) ball nose diameter for precise radial profiling and contouring
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and extends tool life in abrasive cutting conditions
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and plunge-entry operations
• Solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and heat resistance compared to high-speed steel
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for compatibility with standard CNC spindle direction
• Single-end configuration with 3.5-inch overall length for reach in moderate-depth features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines that accept a 9/16-inch shank via collet chuck or end mill holder.

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 locked-out, de-energized state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth per the holder manufacturer's guidelines. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout will reduce tool life and surface finish quality.
