Value Collection 843-0062 Ball End Mill 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 843-0062 is a double-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from high speed steel (HSS), it carries a 0.0625 inch cutting diameter and a 0.0938 inch length of cut, making it well-suited for small-radius contouring, slot milling, and detail work in tight tolerances. The double-end configuration extends tool life by providing two usable cutting ends. A 2-flute design balances chip evacuation with edge strength, which is practical when working softer metals and some plastics. This end mill is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC mills and manual knee mills.

This end mill is applied in situations requiring fine detail milling where a small-diameter ball nose profile is necessary. Typical use cases include profiling, 3D contouring, and finishing passes on molds, dies, and precision fixtures. The stub length type keeps the tool rigid under cutting loads, reducing deflection when operating at shallow depths of cut. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC spindle setups. The 3/16 inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems commonly found in benchtop and full-size machining centers.

Key Features

• 0.0625 inch ball nose cutting diameter for fine-detail and small-radius milling
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends to extend tool service life
• High speed steel construction handles general-purpose metal and plastic milling
• 2-flute geometry supports effective chip evacuation in softer workpiece materials
• Stub length type maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for use in standard collet-style tool holders accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the tool from the collet. Verify collet size matches the 3/16 inch shank before tightening to prevent tool pullout. Inspect the cutting edges for damage before each use, as HSS tooling is susceptible to chipping if mishandled or dropped.
