Value Collection 27794 Ball End Mill 0.375in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The Value Collection 27794 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contour milling, profiling, and slotting operations on a wide range of materials. It is constructed from M7 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and measures 0.375 inches in diameter with a 0.75-inch length of cut. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With two flutes and a 0.375-inch shank diameter, this tool is suited for manual machining centers and CNC equipment running moderate feeds and speeds on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

This ball end mill is appropriate for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments requiring a general-purpose regular-length end mill. Typical applications include 3D contouring, radius profiling, and pocket finishing on steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The regular-length body keeps deflection low during light-to-moderate material removal passes. It is sold as a single unit and is a practical choice for maintenance machining, prototype work, and short-run production where an uncoated HSS tool meets the job requirements.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose cutting without added coating cost
• 30-degree helix angle with right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Ball end geometry enables contour milling, radius profiling, and 3D surface work
• Single-end design with matched 0.375-inch shank and cutter diameter for straightforward toolholder setup
• Regular-length body minimizes deflection during profiling and slotting passes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose single-end ball end mill compatible with standard 3/8-inch collets, end mill holders, and hydraulic toolholders used on manual mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
