Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance in general-purpose machining environments. It measures 5\/16 inches in diameter with a 3\/4-inch length of cut and a 3-5\/16-inch overall length. The right-hand cutting, right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. With two flutes and an extended reach configuration, it suits applications where tool clearance and finish quality are both priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball end mill is used in manual and CNC milling machines for cavity work, radius profiling, and die\/mold contouring. The 3\/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in knee mills, vertical machining centers, and toolroom setups. The 1-3\/4-inch reach length makes it well suited for moderate-depth pocket milling where a standard-length tool would not clear the workpiece walls. It is typically installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC programmers working in job shop or production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance in general-purpose milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suited for a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute right-hand spiral geometry promotes chip clearance and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended reach design with 1-3\/4-inch reach length for deeper cavity access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 3\/8-inch shank for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch ball nose diameter produces accurate radii in profiling and contouring passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock ball end mill for use in standard milling machine collets and end mill holders accepting a 3\/8-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify collet or holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank to the correct engagement depth. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute 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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 720-1457\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699940589874,"sku":"720-1457","price":57.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/470b07b8394c71464c1a7652e5910f84.jpg?v=1788383734","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-720-1457-ball-end-mill-5-16-in-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
