Product Overview
The CGS Tool 142-2656 is a 17/64" diameter 4-flute solid carbide ball end mill from the 142 Series, sized for general-purpose contouring where a clean radius finish is the goal. It sits in that useful mid-small range for rounded features without stepping up to a full-size cutter.
Built on the same precision CNC equipment as CGS Tool's other general-purpose lines, it holds a 30° helix and a .1328" radius matched to its diameter for a balanced mix of reach and control. Uncoated and rated across mild steels, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites, it performs reliably across smaller milling jobs.
