Product Overview
Roughing then finishing with that real ball-end reach, you know the 742-5000 at a 1/2" diameter. This 4 flute ball end mill has a .250" radius, so machinists get a smooth rounded shape for surface blending, pocket finishing, and also curved profile work that stays consistent.
It s got a 2" length of cut and a 4" overall length, so you get extra reach for those deeper ball-end applications, especially when you can’t get close. Made using a 30° helix and an uncoated carbide body, the 742-5000 turns out to be a practical pick for mild steel, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non ferrous metals, plastics, and composites.
