Product Overview
Two cutting ends means two tools' worth of life packed into one — that's the value proposition behind the CGS Tool 442-2500-ALTiN, a 1/4" diameter 4-flute ball end mill from the 442 Series. It's built for contour milling where rounded profiles, curved pockets, and finishing passes need steady, dependable cutting.
A .125" radius handles the shaping, and the ALTiN coating pushes back against heat and wear as the tool cycles through tougher conditions. Double-end construction means once one end wears down, you flip it and keep going — a practical edge for shops running mild steels, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites in volume.
