With a 0.5-inch cutting diameter and a 1-inch length of cut, this tool removes material cleanly in peripheral and slot milling applications. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle provides efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. Manufactured from submicron-grade carbide, the tool holds tight tolerances over repeated use. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous machining where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a primary concern. A licensed machinist or CNC setup technician is the typical end user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for job shops, production floors, and toolroom environments running vertical or horizontal machining centers, knee mills, or CNC routers. The single-end, centercutting design allows plunge entry as well as conventional side milling. The 0.5-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders common across most machine tool platforms. It is appropriate for slotting, profiling, contouring, and pocket milling where a 2-flute geometry is preferred for chip clearance over higher flute counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid submicron-grade carbide construction for edge retention in demanding cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute right-hand spiral design promotes chip clearance in slot and pocket milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle balances axial cutting forces with surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled starting hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suited for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with matched 0.5-inch shank and cutting diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for standard 0.5-inch tool holders including ER collet chucks and end mill arbors used in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and CNC routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Power down the spindle and engage the machine lock before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the holder to the minimum insertion depth recommended by the holder manufacturer, and verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Avoid overtightening set screws on Weldon holders, which can damage the shank and affect concentricity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\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\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: MT3258032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694319534386,"sku":"MT3258032","price":78.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e52ed96ec6aaff8079faae5b23cde300.jpg?v=1788323062","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mt3258032-square-end-mill-0-5-in-2-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
