Value Collection 845-0187 Ball End Mill Hss 2 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 845-0187 is a double-end ball end mill designed for milling contoured surfaces, slots, and three-dimensional profiles in metalworking applications. Manufactured from high speed steel, this end mill measures 0.1875 inches in diameter with a 1-inch length of cut and a 3-3/8-inch overall length. The two-flute, right-hand cutting geometry provides efficient chip evacuation and clean finishes in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The long-length classification gives machinists added reach for deep-cavity work. The double-end design delivers two usable cutting ends per tool, extending service life between tool changes.

This end mill suits general-purpose milling operations in job shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. The 0.1875-inch diameter and long-length configuration make it appropriate for profiling, contouring, and slotting operations where a standard-length tool cannot reach. It is installed in manual mills, CNC machining centers, and knee mills accepting a 3/16-inch shank. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional milling setups.

Key Features

• 0.1875-inch (3/16-inch) ball end diameter for contour and profile milling
• Two right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction for efficient chip removal
• Long-length classification with 1-inch length of cut for deep-reach applications
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• High speed steel construction suitable for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials
• 3/16-inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard collets and tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production ball end mill for use in manual and CNC milling machines accepting a 3/16-inch round shank collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the collet nut according to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect both cutting ends for chipping or wear before use, and select appropriate speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.
