Product Overview
The CGS Tool M142-010-BN-ALTiN is a 1mm diameter 4-flute solid carbide ball end mill made for the of miniature metric work where a slip of a few microns actually matters. It sits in the 142 Series, giving shops a precision metric ball nose for small features, tight 3D contours, and blending work that a bigger cutter simply can't get into.
Where this tool earns its keep is the .5mm radius ball nose combined with a 30° helix, all backed by an ALTiN coating. The ball profile lets you chase small curved details without chattering off the edge, and the ALTiN layer buys extra heat resistance so the tiny cutting edge isn't the first thing to give out. Built on solid carbide, it holds its geometry through mild steels, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous materials, plastics, and composites.
