Product Overview
The CGS Tool 142-2969 is a 19/64" diameter 4-flute solid carbide ball end mill built for shops that need dependable rounded-profile cutting without stepping up to a specialty tool. It sits in the 142 Series, CGS Tool's general-purpose ball-end lineup, and it's aimed at everyday CNC work where curved pockets, blended surfaces, and finishing passes come up on a regular basis rather than as an occasional job.
What makes this one worth keeping in the drawer is the .1484" radius paired with a 30° helix — that combination gives a rounded cutting form that stays controlled instead of chattering through a curved wall or a tight pocket corner. Single-end construction and an uncoated carbide body keep things straightforward, and the 142-2969 holds up across mild steels, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites without needing a coating to get the job done.
