Kennametal 5874174 Ball End Mill 0.2362 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5874174 is a 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. It carries a TiAlN PVD coating that extends tool life and supports elevated cutting temperatures. The 6 mm diameter cutter features a 10 mm length of cut, a 57 mm overall length, and a straight-cylindrical shank sized at 6 mm. The eccentric relief geometry increases cutting edge stability, which supports both roughing and finishing passes in a single tool. Part of the Kennametal GOmill 2BN series, this end mill conforms to DIN 6528 for consistent dimensional accuracy across production runs.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers running ferrous workpieces in job shop and production environments. The right-hand cut and right-hand helical flutes with a 30-degree helix angle provide stable chip evacuation without a chipbreaker. The standard length classification and zero neck length make it a direct-fit option for close-tolerance profiling, slotting, and contour milling operations in steel and cast iron components. No coolant-through feature is present, so external coolant or mist lubrication is the standard approach for thermal management during aggressive cuts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with TiAlN PVD coating for heat resistance and extended tool life
• Eccentric relief on cutting edges improves stability and surface finish quality
• 2-flute, right-hand helical design at 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank per DIN 6528 ensures consistent runout in standard end mill holders
• Rated for roughing and finishing in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron
• GOmill 2BN series delivers favorable cost-to-performance ratio for high-volume machining

Compatibility

Designed for use on CNC milling machines with standard end mill toolholders accepting a 6 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are steel (P), stainless steel (M), and cast iron (K) per ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the tool. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder to achieve the manufacturer shank tolerance of +0.000/-0.008 mm for accurate runout. Verify programmed feeds and speeds match the workpiece material and depth of cut before initiating a cycle.
