Product Overview
The CGS Tool 242-5000 is of a 1/2" diameter, 4-flute solid carbide ball end mill, made more for profile and contour chores, with a .250" radius that gives you a smooth, rounded cutting style for those curved pockets and surface blending type results.
And then with the 5/8" length of cut , plus a 2-1/2" overall length, this 242 Series cutter keeps a steady ball-end behavior for compact-to-mid-size CNC setups, and the uncoated carbide body makes it workable for everyday general-purpose machining, not just for special tasks.
