Maykestag Solid Carbide Mini Ball Nose End Mill 0.50mm R0.25 Z2 Reinforced Shank
Precision miniature ball nose milling with a reinforced shank. The Maykestag Code 6345 is a solid carbide mini ball nose end mill with two flutes, a short-series design and reinforced 3.00mm shank. This 0.50mm version features a 0.25mm ball radius and is designed for precise miniature contouring and 3D profiling applications.
The Maykestag Code 6345 0.50mm mini ball nose end mill combines a miniature 0.50mm cutting diameter with a 0.25mm radius, two-flute geometry and a reinforced 3.00mm h6 shank. The short-series design provides a compact tool configuration for precision machining where small radii and fine surface detail are required.
With a 38mm overall length and 1.5mm cutting length, this miniature cutter is particularly suited to detailed CNC milling, contouring and 3D profiling. The uncoated solid carbide construction and 30° helix provide the specified Code 6345 cutting geometry.
What is a mini ball nose end mill?
A ball nose end mill has a rounded cutting end that allows the tool to produce smooth curved surfaces, contours and three-dimensional profiles. The cutting radius corresponds to half the nominal cutting diameter when the end is a full hemispherical radius.
This Maykestag cutter has a 0.50mm cutting diameter and 0.25mm radius, making it suitable for miniature machining applications where fine detail and very small radii are required.

- 30° helix angle
- 38mm overall length
- 1.5mm cutting length
- DIN 6535-HA shank
- Uncoated solid carbide construction
- Type N geometry
Why use a miniature ball nose cutter?
Miniature ball nose end mills are used where conventional milling cutters are too large to reproduce the required geometry. Their small rounded cutting ends allow detailed contours, small radii, grooves and three-dimensional surfaces to be machined with high geometric precision.
The reinforced shank of the Maykestag Code 6345 provides additional support behind the miniature cutting section, helping create a stable tool configuration despite the extremely small 0.50mm cutting diameter.
Features
- Solid carbide construction: Provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for miniature precision milling.
- Miniature 0.50mm diameter: Allows very small features, contours and detailed geometries to be machined.
- 0.25mm radius: The ball nose profile provides a smooth rounded cutting geometry for contour and 3D machining.
- Two flutes: Provides the specified Code 6345 cutting configuration.
- Reinforced shank: The 3.00mm shank provides greater support behind the miniature cutting section.
- 30° helix: Provides the specified spiral geometry for the cutter.
- Short series: The compact tool design helps minimise unnecessary tool overhang.
- Type N: Maykestag standard geometry designation for the product family.
- DIN 6535-HA: Cylindrical shank configuration for suitable precision toolholding systems.
Recommended Applications
The Maykestag Code 6345 range is rated by Maykestag according to its suitability for different material groups. A higher rating indicates greater suitability for the application.
Reinforced Shank
The Maykestag Code 6345 uses a 3.00mm h6 reinforced shank behind its miniature cutting section. This gives the small-diameter cutter additional support and helps maintain a compact, rigid tool configuration.
Miniature Ball Nose Geometry
The 0.50mm cutting diameter and 0.25mm radius are designed for miniature contouring and detailed three-dimensional machining. The short-series design keeps the cutting geometry close to the toolholder for precision applications.
