Ball End Mill: 2" Dia, 2-1/2" LOC, 2 Flute(s), High Speed Steel MPN:720-1445

The HSS 2 diameter high-speed steel ball end mill features two cutting edges for a superior finish in aluminum and other metals up to 1/4 thickness when performing pocketing, drilling or contouring operations without causing harm to the material being worked on due to heat generation thanks to its higher rate of heat dissipation compared to Carbide end mills. With a 2-1/2 LOC (Length Of Cut) and two flutes, it allows users to achieve smooth edges when performing profiling cuts in multiple passes without removing too much material at once maintaining tighter tolerances while conserving durability in cutting tools like HSS that work better in lower rpm compared with Carbide end mills designed for higher rotational speeds which results in higher costs per cut while reducing tool lifespan considerably if used on softer materials like Aluminum where High Speed Steel performs flawlessly at competitive prices, making it ideal for professional machinists and hobbyists performing CNC operations or manual machining tasks at workshops dealing with low to medium volume production requirements where accuracy and affordability come first.
