The tool measures 0.3438 inches in diameter with a 0.875-inch length of cut and a 2.5-inch overall length. The 4-flute, single-end design supports both roughing and finishing operations. A TiAlN PVD coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting ferrous and difficult materials. The right-hand cutting and flute direction, combined with a 30-degree medium helix angle, promotes chip evacuation and surface finish quality. Shank diameter is 0.3750 inches, straight-cylindrical type.\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. It is a standard-length tool without extended reach or coolant-through capability, making it appropriate for conventional milling center setups where rigidity and repeatability are priorities. The 404BN series is positioned as an economical solid carbide option that maintains consistent tolerancing across production runs, making it a practical choice for job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN PVD coating rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute, single-end ball nose geometry supports roughing and finishing in one tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree medium helix angle promotes chip flow and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank for standard collet or end mill holder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNose radius of 0.1719 inches consistent with 0.3438-inch ball diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.3750-inch straight shank.
