Product Overview
Compact profile work needs a matching compact radius, and the 242-2500 delivers one at 1/4" diameter with a .125" radius. This 4-flute ball end mill is built for finishing, blending, curved pockets, and detailed surface work where a clean rounded form matters.
Built with an uncoated solid carbide body, this cutter gives dependable general-purpose performance in everyday CNC applications. With a 1/2" length of cut and 2" overall length, the 242-2500 is a practical choice for smaller ball-end milling work.
