Mitsubishi 10567999 Ball End Mill 3mm 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The MITSUBISHI 10567999 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for high-performance milling in hardened materials and steel. Part of the VF Series, it features a 3.00 mm mill diameter with a 1.50 mm nose radius and a 3.00 mm length of cut. The AlTiCrSiN PVD coating provides thermal and wear resistance, making this tool well suited for demanding cutting conditions at tight tolerances. With a 20-degree helix angle and right-hand flute direction, it delivers consistent chip evacuation during both roughing and finishing operations. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC tooling professionals working on precision milling applications.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where small-diameter, high-precision work is required. Its primary application is in hardened materials, with secondary suitability for steel. The short length type and straight cylindrical shank make it a practical choice for close-tolerance slotting, profiling, and contouring operations. The single-end configuration and center-cutting capability allow plunge entry as well as lateral cutting passes.

Key Features

• AlTiCrSiN PVD coating for wear resistance in hardened materials and steel
• 2-flute spiral flute geometry supports both roughing and finishing in a single tool
• 20-degree right-hand helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Straight cylindrical shank with h5 tolerance for precise collet or chuck fitment
• Short length configuration reduces deflection in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard 3.00 mm straight collets, ER collet chucks, or equivalent toolholding systems on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or spindle lock is engaged before inserting or removing the tool. Use a calibrated torque wrench when tightening collet nuts to avoid shank damage. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tooling setup before beginning a cut cycle.
