Value Collection 320-3748 Ball End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 320-3748 is a single-end ball end mill designed for milling contoured surfaces, slots, and complex three-dimensional profiles in a wide range of workpiece materials. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it offers reliable cutting performance in general machining applications. The cutter measures 1/2 inch in diameter with a 2-inch length of cut and an overall length of 4 inches. The 1/2-inch shank diameter provides solid clamping in standard end mill holders and collet chucks. With four spiral flutes and right-hand cutting and flute directions, this tool is suited for conventional milling operations on manual and CNC machines.

This ball end mill is appropriate for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments where full-radius profiling, die work, or finish passes on contoured features are required. The long-length configuration allows for reach into deeper cavities and pockets where standard-length end mills cannot access. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working with milling machines and machining centers across light industrial and manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch ball end diameter for full-radius contour milling
• 2-inch length of cut for extended reach into pockets and cavities
• 4-flute spiral configuration for balanced cutting and smooth surface finish
• High speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids in general-purpose applications
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard milling machine spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill compatible with standard 1/2-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and milling arbors used on vertical and horizontal milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists using standard end mill holders or precision collet chucks; ensure the holder and collet are clean and undamaged before clamping. Confirm spindle rotation is set to right-hand before engaging the cut. Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use and discard the tool if edges are damaged.
