Built from solid carbide, this tool accepts HBR-QF and HCR style inserts secured by a screw-holding method, making insert changes straightforward in production settings. The 3\/8-inch cutting diameter and 6-inch overall length accommodate deep-reach milling applications where a standard-length tool would not reach. The tapered neck design reduces deflection and improves rigidity in cavity and contour milling. This tool is part of ISCAR's BallPlus series and is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in job shop and production machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3103597 is suited for milling operations requiring a ball nose profile, including 3D contouring, cavity milling, and finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1\/2-inch cylindrical shank provides a standard interface compatible with common collet chucks and end mill holders. With a 2-inch head length and single-flute ball nose insert configuration, the tool is optimized for controlled chip evacuation and surface finish in deeper pockets or sloped surfaces. It is typically deployed on vertical machining centers and CNC mills where ISO 13399 tooling data standards are used for tool presetting and machine integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch cutting diameter with a single ball nose insert for 3D contour and cavity milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide body in the BallPlus series with tapered neck for improved reach and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with HBR-QF and HCR insert styles, held by screw-lock method\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length and 2-inch head length for deep-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for seamless tool management integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with HBR-QF and HCR compatible inserts.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before changing inserts or mounting the tool in a holder. Use a calibrated torque driver when seating the insert screw to avoid over-torquing the carbide insert. Verify tool projection and runout with a presetter or dial indicator before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Ball Nose Inserts\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Insert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: HBR-QF, HCR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToolholder Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: HCM D.38\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BallPlus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapered Neck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeldon Flat\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 13399\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.637 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISCAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3103597\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750064324914,"sku":"3103597","price":335.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d43e2583a6e752e59cb3fd50a45193a3.jpg?v=1788913462","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-3103597-ball-nose-end-mill-3-8-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
