Kennametal 6072145 Carbide Ball End Mill Head 1/2 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6072145 is a solid carbide ball end mill head designed for high-performance milling operations in demanding machining environments. This replacement-style head features a 1/2 inch mill diameter, a 3/4 inch length of cut, and a 0.25 inch nose radius, making it well suited for profiling, contouring, and finishing passes on hardened and difficult-to-machine materials. The AlTiN finish coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds. With six spiral flutes and a 39-degree helix angle, the 6072145 delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. It mounts via the Duo-Lock 12 connection system and is ground from KCSM15 material grade carbide. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling specialists are the primary installers of this head.

The 6072145 is intended for use on CNC machining centers and milling machines equipped with a compatible Duo-Lock 12 toolholder. Its right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation suit conventional milling setups. The KCSM15 grade and AlTiN coating make this head particularly effective when machining steels, stainless steels, and high-temperature alloys in aerospace, die and mold, and precision parts manufacturing applications. It belongs to the UJBV series and is sold as an individual replacement head.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in KCSM15 grade for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN finish coating for thermal protection and extended tool life at high cutting speeds
• Six spiral flutes with 39-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Duo-Lock 12 connection for secure, repeatable mounting on compatible toolholders
• 0.25 inch nose radius for smooth ball-end profiling and contouring
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC milling setups

Compatibility
