What the C60947 end mill does
The Cleveland C60947 is a 2-flute carbide ball nose end mill with a .375 in milling diameter. It is uncoated and designed for general-purpose milling in a range of materials. Machinists and fabricators use it for contouring, profiling and finishing operations on CNC or manual machines.
Thermals and power in normal use
Carbide construction handles the heat generated during cutting without losing hardness. The uncoated surface reduces friction buildup in non-ferrous materials. Two flutes provide efficient chip evacuation, keeping the cutting zone cooler during extended passes.
What the lack of coating changes
Without a coating the tool costs less and avoids coating delamination in sticky materials like aluminium or copper. It also allows regrinding to restore the original geometry. Shops that prefer to control their own edge preparation or run short production runs benefit from the uncoated substrate.

Questions about this item
How do I install the .375 in carbide ball nose end mill in my milling machine, and what step is often missed?
Secure the .375 in shank in a precision collet or shrink-fit holder, then verify runout with a dial indicator; the step often missed is confirming concentricity before cutting.
What maintenance or replacement will the uncoated carbide C60947 need during its service life?
The uncoated carbide flutes will dull with use; plan to resharpen the ball nose geometry on a tool grinder or replace the end mill when edge wear exceeds tolerance.
What limit appears first on the C60947 during sustained profiling cuts in steel?
Heat buildup in the uncoated carbide substrate becomes the limiting factor, causing accelerated flank wear and potential thermal cracking during prolonged heavy cuts.
