Product Overview
The CGS Tool 842-5000 is a 1/2" diameter 4-flute solid carbide ball end mill built specifically for long-reach profile and contour milling, where a mid-size radius needs to reach deeper into the part than a standard tool allows. It belongs to the 842 Series, CGS Tool's extended-reach ball nose line.
What sets this tool apart is the 3" length of cut backing up a .250" radius, giving strong reach for curved walls and deeper pocket work in a single pass. Running a 30° helix, and left uncoated, it holds up through mild steel, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous material, plastics, and composites.
