Kennametal 5607207 Ball End Mill 0.625 in 6 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5607207 is a solid carbide ball end mill from the HARVI III UJBE series, designed for high-performance milling in demanding materials. It features a 0.625-inch diameter, 1.25-inch length of cut, and 3.5-inch overall length with a matching 0.625-inch straight cylindrical shank. Six flutes with variable index spacing reduce chatter during aggressive cuts, while a 38-degree medium helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. The AlTiN PVD coating extends tool life in high-heat applications. This end mill handles both roughing and finishing operations and is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

The 5607207 is engineered for milling steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials. The variable index flute geometry minimizes vibration at higher feed rates, making it effective for both contour milling and 3D profiling passes. Its centercutting capability allows plunge entry, and the single-end configuration suits standard toolholders with straight-cylindrical shank bores. Typical applications include die and mold work, aerospace component machining, and general-purpose finishing in materials that demand coating durability and thermal resistance.

Key Features

• 6-flute variable index design reduces chatter for stable cuts in difficult materials
• AlTiN PVD coating provides heat and oxidation resistance in steel and high-temp alloy applications
• 38-degree medium helix angle supports efficient chip flow and surface finish quality
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Handles both roughing and finishing operations in a single tool
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard spindle configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard straight-cylindrical shank toolholders accepting a 0.625-inch shank diameter. Primary workpiece material classifications include P (steel), M (stainless steel), S (high-temperature alloy), and H (hardened materials) per ISO material coding.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool path program verified before mounting or removing the end mill. Use a precision collet or milling chuck sized for a 0.625-inch shank to ensure runout is within acceptable limits. Confirm cutting direction is set to right-hand rotation before initiating any cycle.
