Ball End Mill: 0.04" Dia, 0.06" LOC, 3 Flute, Solid Carbide MPN:970740-C3

Manufactured from solid carbide, this ball end mill features superior performance when cutting hard metals such as stainless steel and titanium while maintaining longevity due to its increased wear resistance compared to standard steel tools that are more prone to breakage. With a diameter of 0.04 inches, it boasts an indexable insert diameter of 0.06 inches which improves the tool's rigidity and allows for accurate cuts while operating at faster feeds and speeds, enabling quicker material removal and reducing costs in the long run. Its three-flute design increases efficiency by efficiently evacuating chips from the cutting zone during operation while improving chip flow and reducing rubbing forces, minimizing vibration or chatter during heavy cutting. Moreover, its compatibility with ISO standard equipment ensures seamless integration into existing machining operations for ease of use, saving manufacturers' time in training and transition. It is an ideal choice for industries that value precision finishes and need robust tools to operate at higher speeds, including aerospace, automotive, medical and electronics.
