Product Overview
The CGS Tool 242-2188 is a 7/32" diameter 4-flute solid carbide ball end mill from the 242 Series, sized for smooth profile and contour milling where a clean radius matters more than aggressive removal. It's a good fit for smaller rounded surfaces and pocket blending.
Built on the same precision CNC equipment as CGS Tool's other general-purpose lines, it holds a 30° helix and a .1094" radius matched to its diameter, staying compact while still offering practical reach. Uncoated and rated across mild steels, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites, it's a useful general-purpose cutter.
