Mitsubishi 10568149 Ball End Mill 10mm 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The MITSUBISHI 10568149 is a solid carbide ball end mill from the VF Series, designed for high-performance milling in hardened materials and steel. It features a 10 mm cutting diameter, an 18 mm length of cut, and a 2-flute right-hand spiral configuration. The tool is coated with AlTiCrSiN via a PVD process, providing excellent thermal and wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. With a 20-degree helix angle and centercutting capability, this end mill handles both roughing and finishing operations in demanding CNC machining environments. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this type of tool for contour milling, profiling, and 3D surface work.

This end mill is suited for milling hardened materials (Material Code H) as the primary workpiece material, with steel (Material Code P) as a secondary target material. The short-length, straight-cylindrical shank with h5 tolerance ensures consistent tool holding in precision collet or end mill holders. It operates as a single-end tool on vertical machining centers, milling machines, and similar CNC equipment where rigid setups and consistent chip evacuation are required.

Key Features

• 10 mm ball nose diameter with 5 mm nose radius for accurate contouring
• AlTiCrSiN PVD coating rated for hardened material and steel applications
• 2-flute right-hand spiral design supports roughing and finishing in a single tool
• 20-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry cuts
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h5 tolerance for precise tool holding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard straight-bore end mill holders and precision collets accepting a 10 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling guidelines. Power down the spindle and confirm it has come to a complete stop before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or tool holder to the recommended gauge length, and torque the retention mechanism per the holder manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before each use.
