Cleveland C63536 4-Flute Carbide Ball Single End GP End Mill .25 in

Cleveland C63536 4-Flute Ball End Mill

The Cleveland C63536 is a solid carbide ball nose end mill with a 0.25 inch milling diameter and four flutes. It is designed for general-purpose machining of contoured surfaces, slots, and pockets in a variety of materials. The single-end configuration suits CNC and manual milling operations where a ball profile is required. Machinists and maintenance technicians will find it useful for profiling and finishing tasks.

Uncoated Carbide Construction

The tool features an uncoated carbide substrate that provides high hardness and wear resistance at a lower cost than coated alternatives. Its non-coolant-through design means cutting fluid must be supplied externally via flood or mist systems. The four-flute geometry offers a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality for general-purpose use. Standard shank dimensions allow it to fit common ER collets and end mill holders without special adapters.

Replaces Worn Ball Nose Cutters

This end mill directly replaces dull or damaged 0.25 inch ball nose tools to restore profiling accuracy and finish quality. The jump is worth it when an existing cutter shows flank wear, chipping, or poor surface finish on radius features. It is not suited for high-feed roughing strategies that demand specialized variable-helix or chipbreaker geometries. Buyers needing extended reach, corner radius profiles, or high-performance coatings for abrasive alloys should select a different tool.
