Hertel EG062012 Ball End Mill 3/16 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The HERTEL EG062012 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for profiling, contouring, and slotting cuts. The 3/16 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1-1/8 inch length of cut and a 4-flute geometry, providing a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality. A titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life in abrasive materials. Overall length is 3 inches with a matching 3/16 inch shank diameter for standard collet or end mill holder compatibility.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines in job shop, toolroom, and production environments. It handles finishing and semi-finishing passes on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials where a ball nose profile is required for 3D contour work or radius floor features. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling on most vertical and horizontal mill setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and thermal resistance in demanding cuts
• TiCN coating reduces tool wear and friction on abrasive and hard materials
• 4-flute design balances chip clearance with improved surface finish
• Ball nose geometry supports 3D contouring, profiling, and radius floor milling
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand helix
• 3/16 inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the recommended gauge line before torquing the retention nut — never grip on the flute length. Confirm spindle runout is within acceptable tolerance before engaging the cut, as carbide tools are brittle and sensitive to lateral shock loading. Always follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool length offsets and feed-speed parameters.
