Value Collection 841-0187 Ball End Mill 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 841-0187 is a double-end ball end mill designed for milling contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel, this tool delivers reliable performance in general-purpose machining applications. The cutting diameter measures 0.1875 inches with a length of cut of 0.5 inches, making it well suited for detail work and finishing passes. With two flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it provides efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with CNC mills or manual knee mills will find this end mill a practical choice for everyday shop use.

This ball end mill is intended for use in general metalworking and machining environments, including job shops, toolrooms, and production floors. Its double-end configuration extends usable tool life by providing two cutting ends per shank. The 0.1875-inch diameter and regular-length geometry make it appropriate for light profiling, pocket milling, and finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 3/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in both CNC and manual milling setups.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank replacement end mill compatible with collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and tighten to the holder specification using the appropriate wrench. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and never exceed the recommended depth of cut for the tool diameter.
