Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for demanding cutting applications. The 0.3125 inch (5\/16 inch) cutting diameter pairs with a 0.8125 inch length of cut and a 30-degree helix angle to promote smooth chip evacuation and reduce chatter. An AlTiN coating adds thermal resistance and surface hardness, extending tool life in dry or high-speed cutting conditions. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in shop and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for finish and semi-finish milling passes on dies, molds, and complex contoured workpieces. The ball nose geometry allows full 3D surface contact, making it a standard choice for CNC machining centers running ferrous alloys, hardened steels, and similar materials. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are consistent with standard spindle configurations on vertical and horizontal machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides thermal stability and extended tool life in high-speed cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.3125 inch (5\/16 inch) ball nose diameter for precise contour and 3D profiling work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for use in standard CNC spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design; 2.5 inch overall length with 5\/16 inch shank diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 5\/16 inch shank ball end mill compatible with CNC machining center collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders accepting a 0.3125 inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes must be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the control in a safe, locked-out state. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or damage before each use. Follow shop-specific speeds, feeds, and depth-of-cut parameters established for the workpiece material and machine setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8125 inches (13\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches L x 0.6 inches W x 0.6 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: EM249020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748726931762,"sku":"EM249020","price":58.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fcbb54ace63149f73b2cf5709ab1181c.jpg?v=1788897368","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-em249020-ball-end-mill-0-3125-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
