Hertel E8050032 Square End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Hss Tin

Product Description

The HERTEL E8050032 is a double-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from M7 high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) finish, this tool delivers reliable cutting performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1/2 inch diameter cutter features two spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle, a right-hand cut, and right-hand flute orientation. The centercutting geometry allows plunge milling in addition to peripheral and slot milling. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this end mill in CNC and manual milling applications.

This end mill is suited for slot milling, profiling, and pocket milling operations in job shop, production, and toolroom settings. The double-end configuration extends tool life by providing two usable cutting ends. With a 13/16 inch length of cut and a 3-3/4 inch overall length, it fits standard tool holders with a 1/2 inch bore and works in both vertical and horizontal milling setups. The regular-length classification makes it appropriate for standard-depth applications where rigidity is a priority.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction for toughness in interrupted and continuous cuts
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation in spiral flute configuration
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool, extending service life
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for 1/2 inch shank milling tool holders used in conventional and CNC vertical milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth to prevent pullout during cutting. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or wear is evident.
