It features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 0.25-inch nose radius that produces smooth, consistent ball-nose geometry. The micrograin carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance suited to both roughing and finishing passes. With a 30-degree helical flute angle and two right-hand helical flutes, the tool balances chip evacuation with edge strength. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users in production shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis long-series end mill is well suited to vertical machining centers and CNC milling setups where reach into deep features or stepped workpieces is required. The 4-inch overall length and 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank allow standard ER or side-lock toolholding. The tool addresses secondary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and hard materials, covering a broad range of production and job-shop applications. Single-end configuration makes it a direct, repeatable tooling investment across medium-volume runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-inch ball nose diameter with 0.25-inch nose radius for accurate 3D contouring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch length of cut on a long-series 4-inch overall length body for deep-reach milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for consistent tolerancing and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree medium helix angle balances chip flow and cutting edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — compatible with coolant flood or dry cutting strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; single-end design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and hard materials (ISO material codes P, M, K, N, H).

Ensure the machine spindle and toolholder are fully de-energized and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Verify runout at the toolholder before cutting to stay within the shank diameter tolerance of +0.0000 \/ -0.0005 inches. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling guidelines for appropriate feed rates, spindle speeds, and depth of cut based on workpiece material and fixturing rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 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: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 462BN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 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: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 462-5000-BN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745650147634,"sku":"462-5000-BN","price":130.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7dda44993bcab049ded062a79b6cb2ff.jpg?v=1788864620","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-462-5000-bn-ball-end-mill-0-5in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
