Built to OSG Series 404BN standards, this single-end tool features a 5.00 mm cutting diameter, a 16.00 mm length of cut, and a 4-flute spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle. The micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity and edge retention needed for both roughing and finishing passes. At 51.00 mm overall length with a 5.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank, it fits standard collet and end mill holders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The ball nose profile makes it appropriate for 3D contouring, profiling, slotting, and finishing of complex surfaces. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC spindle setups. The bright uncoated finish is compatible with dry cutting or coolant-assisted operations, though this tool does not include through-coolant capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5.00 mm cutting diameter with 2.50 mm nose radius for accurate ball-end profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral geometry with 30-degree medium helix angle for balanced chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for consistent tolerancing and edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.00 \/ -0.05 mm for repeatable fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end, right-hand cut design for standard CNC and manual mill setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for roughing and finishing across steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with workpiece materials coded P (steel), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), N (non-ferrous metal), S (superalloys and titanium), and H (hard material) per ISO material classification.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or unloading the tool. Confirm runout at the collet before cutting to stay within the stated diameter tolerance. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool guidelines for feed rate, depth of cut, and spindle speed when applying this end mill to hard or difficult-to-machine materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.00 mm (0.1969 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 51.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00 \/ -0.05 mm\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\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 404BN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 404-1968-BN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746920071474,"sku":"404-1968-BN","price":34.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d31a674081f1be44881fc8b7b22a07b5.jpg?v=1788874622","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-404-1968-bn-ball-end-mill-5-mm-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
