Hertel EG060020 Ball End Mill 0.3125 in 4 Flute Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The HERTEL EG060020 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining environments. Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for high-feed applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating that reduces friction and extends tool life in demanding cuts. With a 0.3125-inch diameter, 4-flute geometry, and right-hand cutting direction, this end mill is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes where accurate contour and profile work is required. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments rely on this tool class for consistent, repeatable results.

The EG060020 is intended for use in vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where a 5/16-inch shank can be securely held in a collet or end mill holder. Its 1.125-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length allow access to moderate-depth pockets and contoured surfaces without excessive overhang. The 4-flute configuration balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality, making it appropriate for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials where TiCN coating performance is optimized.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides high rigidity and wear resistance for demanding machining applications
• TiCN coating reduces friction and heat buildup, extending tool life in ferrous materials
• 4-flute design balances chip evacuation with improved surface finish quality
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill spindle compatibility
• Single-end configuration with a 0.3125-inch ball nose for accurate radius profiling and contouring
• 1.125-inch length of cut supports moderate pocket depth and contoured surface milling

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling choice for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 5/16-inch shank diameter in standard collet or end mill holder systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, powered-down state before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth to prevent pullout under cutting loads. Verify runout after installation before beginning a cutting operation.
