With a 0.5 inch diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length, this single-end tool delivers consistent performance on both roughing and finishing operations. The 4-flute, right-hand helical geometry paired with a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating reduces friction and extends tool life when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance environments rely on this geometry for contoured surfaces, slots, and 3D profiling work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 140-4500 is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Its straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter, making it compatible with standard ER collets, end mill holders, and hydraulic chucks. The standard length profile fits most vertical machining center setups without requiring extended reach or specialized toolholding. This tool is appropriate for shops running light to moderate material removal on a variety of part geometries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 inch ball nose diameter with a 0.25 inch nose radius for accurate 3D contour milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute right-hand helical flute design supports both roughing and finishing in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN PVD coating improves wear resistance and reduces built-up edge on ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and thermal stability at higher cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical 0.5 inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chipbreaker and no coolant-through design simplifies setup for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-fitment replacement or addition for machining setups requiring a 0.5 inch diameter, 4-flute solid carbide ball end mill with a straight shank.

Secure the shank to the proper insertion depth in the toolholder per the holder manufacturer's torque specifications before running. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing or adjusting tooling in accordance with OSHA machine guarding and lockout\/tagout procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Superalloys and Titanium, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 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: HTC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140-4500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HTC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68388133273906,"sku":"140-4500","price":80.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fc6f0b82985c22052eea6afe68b59f46.jpg?v=1793904406","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/htc-140-4500-ball-end-mill-0-5-in-4-flute-solid-carbide-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
