Built to the VF series standard, it features a 12.00 mm mill diameter with a matching 12.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank and a 22.00 mm length of cut. The two-flute geometry runs a right-hand cutting and flute direction with a 20-degree helix angle. An AlTiCrSiN PVD coating provides thermal and wear resistance during demanding roughing and finishing passes. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry, making this mill suitable for contouring, profiling, and finishing operations on hardened workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die shops are the primary installers and users of this tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is well suited for work on hardened materials (material code H) as its primary application, with steel (material code P) as a secondary workpiece material. The short length type and rigid solid carbide construction make it appropriate for close-tolerance operations in mold and die machining, as well as general precision machining environments where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical. The 6.00 mm nose radius enables smooth ball-end profiling passes on complex 3D contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiCrSiN PVD coating for elevated wear and heat resistance in hardened-material cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute right-hand spiral geometry supports both roughing and finishing in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-degree helix angle balances chip evacuation and cutting force in steel and hardened alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank with h5 tolerance for precise collet or chuck fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 110.00 mm overall length for standard reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines accepting a 12.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank, consistent with VF series tooling standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Use a collet or end mill holder rated for the 12.00 mm shank diameter and verify runout with a dial indicator before commencing cuts. Follow the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the specific workpiece hardness and machine capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.00 mm (0.4724 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22.00 mm (0.8661 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 110.00 mm (4.3307 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.00 mm (0.4724 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22.00 mm (0.8661 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiCrSiN (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter-Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.39 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MITSUBISHI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10568156\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693575668018,"sku":"10568156","price":341.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cd92c37545504cf6caec8a30e2f84567_2cc24fd4-95b5-4c06-9733-efd1e11328d2.jpg?v=1788314316","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitsubishi-10568156-ball-end-mill-12mm-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
