Osg 484-5000-BN11 Ball End Mill 0.5in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 484-5000-BN11 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for material removal in both roughing and finishing operations. It features a 0.5-inch mill diameter with a 0.25-inch nose radius, 4 helical flutes, and a 30-degree helix angle. The cutting edge runs 3 inches in length of cut, with a 6-inch overall length and a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank. A TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) PVD coating improves heat resistance and tool life in demanding cutting environments. The micrograin carbide substrate supports precision tolerancing across production runs. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install and run this tooling in standard machining centers and milling machines.

This end mill is rated for secondary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and hard materials. The extra-long length type makes it suited for deep-cavity milling, contour work, and die-mold applications where standard-length tools cannot reach. Single-end configuration and right-hand cutting and flute direction are standard. The 484BN series from OSG targets shops that require consistent tolerancing at a practical price point without stepping down in carbide quality.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch mill diameter with +0.0000 / -0.0020 inch tolerance
• 4 helical flutes with 30-degree helix angle for right-hand cutting
• TiAlN PVD coating for heat resistance in steel, stainless, cast iron, and hard materials
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for wear resistance and edge retention
• Extra-long length type: 3-inch length of cut, 6-inch overall length
• Straight-cylindrical shank for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility

Compatibility

Rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and hard materials (ISO material codes P, M, K, N, H). Part of the OSG 484BN series, designed as an OEM-specification solid carbide ball end mill for CNC machining centers and milling machines using standard 0.5-inch toolholding.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Confirm spindle RPM, feed rate, and depth of cut are within the toolholder and machine specifications before running. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the collet or end mill holder per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges for damage before each use; do not run chipped or worn carbide tooling.
