Cleveland C60962 2-Flute Carbide Ball Nose End Mill .625 in

SKU CH-WMCK-0N857

A 2-flute carbide ball nose end mill with a .625 in milling diameter for general-purpose machining

  • Carbide construction resists wear for longer tool life
  • Two-flute design clears chips efficiently in deep cuts
  • Ball nose geometry produces smooth contoured surfaces
  • .625 in diameter suits medium milling applications
  • Uncoated surface allows sharp edge retention on non-ferrous metals

Cleveland C60962 Ball Nose End Mill

The Cleveland C60962 is a 2-flute carbide ball nose end mill with a .625 in milling diameter. It is an uncoated, single-end tool designed for general-purpose milling in a range of materials. Machinists and fabricators use it for contouring, profiling, and slotting operations where a rounded bottom cut is required. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for consistent performance.

Suited for general-purpose contouring and profiling

This end mill suits machinists performing 3D contouring, profile milling, or pocketing with a ball nose geometry. The uncoated surface works well in non-ferrous metals, plastics, and softer steels where coatings offer little advantage. It is not for high-volume production runs in hardened alloys where coated tools extend life significantly. Buyers needing coolant-through capability for deep cavity evacuation should look at alternative designs.

Standard shank fits common ER collets and holders

Installation is straightforward: the tool mounts in any compatible collet chuck, end mill holder, or shrink-fit holder matching the shank diameter. Ensure the tool is clamped securely with minimal runout to prevent chatter and premature wear. What usually goes wrong is insufficient clamping force or excessive stick-out causing vibration and poor surface finish. Always verify workpiece fixturing rigidity before starting the cut.

Questions about this item

What collet or tool holder size do I need for the .625 in shank on this Cleveland C60962 end mill?

Use a .625 in collet, ER collet with the matching bore, or a Weldon-style holder that accepts a .625 in shank; the shank diameter is the only fitment dimension that matters.

Can I run this uncoated carbide ball nose cutter in a manual knee mill that normally takes high-speed steel tooling?

Yes — the .625 in shank fits standard holders on manual machines, but run lower spindle speeds and use flood coolant to manage the higher rigidity of carbide versus HSS.

How do I confirm the cutter is performing correctly once installed in the spindle?

Check for minimal run-out at the ball tip, listen for a steady cutting tone without chatter, and verify the finished radius matches the .625 in diameter on a test workpiece.
