Value Collection 27797 Ball End Mill 0.5625in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 27797 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contour milling, profiling, and three-dimensional surface work on metal and other machinable materials. Manufactured from M7 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this tool features a 0.5625-inch mill diameter, a 1.125-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle. The two-flute spiral configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation and is well suited for slotting and plunge cutting applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in job shops or production environments are the primary users of this end mill.

This end mill is applicable to manual milling machines and CNC machining centers where a 0.5-inch shank diameter collet or end mill holder is available. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. It is appropriate for use on mild steels, aluminum, brass, and similar materials where high speed steel tooling meets the demands of the operation. The bright/uncoated finish suits applications where coating is not required or where re-grinding is anticipated.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance in general-purpose machining
• 0.5625-inch ball nose diameter for profiling and contour work
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow
• Two spiral flutes support chip evacuation during slotting and plunge operations
• Bright/uncoated finish allows for re-sharpening without coating concerns
• Single-end design with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders or collet chucks accepting a 0.5-inch shank diameter, compatible with manual mills and CNC machining centers running right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines for tool holding and runout. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the minimum recommended insertion depth specified by the holder manufacturer to prevent tool pullout during cutting. Verify collet or holder condition before use, as worn tooling can affect dimensional accuracy and tool life.
