Hertel EM060012 Ball End Mill 0.1875 in 4 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL EM060012 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 0.1875-inch (3/16-inch) mill diameter, a 0.75-inch length of cut, and a 4-flute geometry that supports efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. The AlTiN coating provides high heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened material applications. With a 30-degree helix angle and micrograin carbide substrate, this single-end mill delivers consistent performance in finish milling, contouring, and profiling passes on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is suited for use in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard CNC and conventional milling setups. It is commonly used for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other ferrous alloys. The AlTiN coating makes it particularly effective in dry or minimal-lubrication cutting conditions where heat generation is a concern.

Key Features

• 0.1875-inch diameter ball nose profile for contouring and 3D surface work
• 4-flute design for improved finish quality and feed rate capability
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• 30-degree helix angle for smooth cutting action and chip flow
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine powered down. Ensure the collet or tool holder is clean and properly torqued to the machine manufacturer's specifications before operation. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool, as excessive runout will accelerate wear and degrade finish quality. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements during setup.
