The 1\/8 inch cutting diameter and 3\/8 inch length of cut make it well-suited for contour milling, profiling, and finishing passes in tight geometries. A TiCN (titanium carbonitride) PVD coating extends tool life by reducing friction and improving wear resistance. The 30-degree medium helix spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a broad range of workpiece materials. This tool is a single-end, right-hand cut design with a Weldon flat shank for secure tool holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball end mill is intended for use on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. It is rated for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. The center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as ramp and contour operations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators working on mold cavities, die components, and precision contoured surfaces are the primary users of this tool size and configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch ball end cutting diameter with 0.0625 inch nose radius for precise contour work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute cobalt construction provides rigidity and heat resistance beyond standard HSS tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN PVD coating for improved wear resistance and reduced built-up edge on ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree medium helix angle balances chip evacuation with cutting edge strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeldon flat shank (3\/8 inch diameter) for positive engagement in end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge, ramp, and contour entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; compatible with standard CNC and manual spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for primary workpiece materials including steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), aluminum and non-ferrous metals (N), and high-temperature alloys (S).

Seat the Weldon flat shank fully into the holder and tighten the set screw against the flat to prevent axial pullout. Verify runout does not exceed the 0.0010 inch TIR maximum before commencing a cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting cutting parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/16 inches (2.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\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\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting 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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0010 \/ -0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0600 \/ -0.0600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPB540\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 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: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17016485\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559613989170,"sku":"17016485","price":69.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c82b07dea2bb6ac9c6f4e7cafcb258ea_fac8f9e0-ee10-42f4-baf4-dc96f5553400.jpg?v=1786436468","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17016485-ball-end-mill-1-8-in-4-flute-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
