Cleveland C60948 End Mill Overview
The Cleveland C60948 is a 2-flute carbide ball nose end mill built for general-purpose milling tasks. Its .375 inch cutting diameter makes it a practical choice for machinists and fabricators working on contoured surfaces or finishing passes. The uncoated carbide substrate provides reliable performance across a range of common workpiece materials. This tool is sold new and ready for immediate use in the shop.
Build Integration & Tooling Needs
This single-end mill fits standard tool holders matching its shank specifications and operates without through-coolant requirements. The non-coolant-through design simplifies setup on machines lacking high-pressure coolant systems. Its carbide construction allows higher cutting speeds than high-speed steel alternatives, freeing up cycle time on production runs. The tool arrives ready to mount without additional preparation steps.
Target Users & Limitations
This end mill suits CNC operators and manual machinists needing a dependable ball nose cutter for profiling, slotting, and 3D contouring work. The two-flute geometry favors chip evacuation in softer materials like aluminium and plastics. Shops requiring coated tools for abrasive alloys, high-temperature alloys, or extended tool life in hardened steels should evaluate coated alternatives. Buyers needing multi-flute roughers or larger diameter cutters will need different tooling.

Questions about this item
How long does the 0.375 in carbide ball nose hold its edge under continuous milling?
The uncoated carbide flutes resist wear during extended cuts, though tool life varies with feed rate, spindle speed and workpiece material.
Does the cutter generate noticeable heat or vibration when run all day in a CNC router?
Solid carbide construction dampens vibration, and the two-flute design clears chips efficiently to limit heat buildup during prolonged sessions.
What shank size must my collet or tool holder accept for this end mill to fit?
The shank diameter matches the 0.375 in cutting diameter, so a 3/8 in collet or ER holder is required for secure clamping.
