Kennametal 5824535 Ball End Mill 4 Flute 0.5in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5824535 is a solid carbide ball end mill from the GOmill 4BN series, designed for demanding milling applications in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. It features a 0.5-inch diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a TiAlN PVD coating applied using a physical vapor deposition process. The four-flute, right-hand helical geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance. Eccentric relief on the cutting edge enhances edge stability, supports long tool life, and simplifies regrinding to reduce reconditioning costs. This is a center-cutting tool, meaning it is capable of plunging and ramping operations.

This end mill is suited for roughing and finishing operations on ferrous workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The standard-length, straight-cylindrical shank fits conventional collet and end mill holders found in vertical machining centers and CNC milling setups. The single-end design and solid carbide construction make it appropriate for shops running general-purpose profiling, slotting, and contouring on ferrous alloys where tool life and surface finish consistency are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• TiAlN PVD coating provides thermal resistance and extended cutting edge life
• Eccentric relief geometry increases edge stability and simplifies regrinding
• Center-cutting design enables plunging and ramping without a pre-drilled hole
• 30-degree medium helix angle balances chip evacuation with cutting stability
• Four-flute configuration supports both roughing and finishing in a single tool

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron workpiece materials (ISO material codes P, M, and K). Compatible with standard 0.5-inch bore collet chucks and end mill holders with straight-cylindrical shank retention.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Secure the tool in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the holder manufacturer's specification. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing the tool. Do not exceed the tool's recommended depth of cut or feed rates for the target workpiece material, as solid carbide is brittle and sensitive to deflection from improper setup.
