Value Collection 843-0125 Ball End Mill 0.125in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 843-0125 is a double-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS), this stub-length tool measures 0.125 inches in diameter with a 0.1875-inch length of cut and a 2-inch overall length. The ball-nose geometry produces curved, contoured surfaces and is well suited for finishing passes on dies, molds, and complex part profiles. With two flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it delivers efficient chip evacuation in a compact, stub-length configuration. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this end mill in standard milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills.

This end mill fits residential machine shops, production floors, and tool rooms where small-diameter, close-tolerance milling is required. The double-end design provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life between replacements. The 0.1875-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collets and end mill holders sized for 3/16-inch shanks. It is a practical choice for slotting, profiling, and contouring cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as some plastics, at the 1/8-inch diameter range.

Key Features

• Ball-nose geometry for contouring, profiling, and curved-surface milling
• Double-end design delivers two cutting ends per tool
• High speed steel construction handles a broad range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation
• Stub length for increased rigidity in tight setups
• 0.1875-inch shank fits standard 3/16-inch collets and holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock tooling option for standard milling machines and CNC machining centers accepting 3/16-inch shank end mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using a properly sized collet or end mill holder torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Inspect the collet and holder for wear or debris before seating the shank. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine operator guidelines when setting depth of cut and feed rates.
