The HS200 Micro Diameter Long Neck 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill combines 0.2 μm ultra-fine grain carbide with an AlTiCrSiN PVD coating. Designed for deep, fine features in hardened steel up to 65 HRC, it supports precision mold machining, high-speed cutting, and dry or semi-dry machining.
The HS200 Micro Diameter Long Neck 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill is designed for machining small and deep features that require both a compact cutting diameter and additional tool reach.
Its micro-diameter ball nose profile is suited to fine geometries, while the long neck configuration provides additional clearance for recessed and difficult-to-access areas.
The tool uses a 0.2 μm ultra-fine grain carbide substrate with an AlTiCrSiN multi-element PVD coating.
This combination is designed for high-speed machining of hardened and difficult-to-machine materials, including hardened steel and mold steel up to 65 HRC.
A small cutting diameter allows the tool to enter narrow geometries that cannot be machined effectively with larger ball nose end mills.
The HS200 is suitable for fine cavities, miniature features, narrow grooves, small radii, and detailed 3D surfaces.
This makes it well suited to precision mold and die components where feature size is a key machining consideration.
The long neck configuration extends the tool’s reach while maintaining a small cutting profile.
It provides additional clearance for deep cavities, recessed areas, and narrow sections, helping the tool reach surfaces that may be inaccessible with a standard configuration.
Because micro tools are sensitive to deflection, the required reach should be matched carefully to tool diameter, machine rigidity, and cutting conditions.
The HS200 uses 0.2 μm ultra-fine grain carbide for a fine and stable cutting edge.
Its fine-grain structure supports wear resistance and edge stability during precision machining.
The AlTiCrSiN multi-element PVD coating provides high coating hardness and resistance to elevated cutting temperatures.
Its high-temperature performance above approximately 1100°C supports demanding high-speed, dry, and semi-dry machining.
The small ball nose profile is designed for detailed machining and fine surface features.
It is particularly useful where larger tools cannot provide the required feature access or geometric detail.
The extended neck provides additional working clearance for deep and recessed features.
This makes the tool a practical choice for complex mold geometries that require both a small diameter and extended reach.
The HS200 is designed for hardened steel and mold steel applications up to 65 HRC.
Its carbide substrate and coating are selected for demanding hard-material machining conditions.
A small-diameter tool can access fine features, but standard configurations may not provide enough reach.
The combination of micro diameter and long neck addresses applications where both requirements occur together.
Tool holders and standard-length configurations can interfere with recessed workpiece areas.
The extended neck provides additional clearance for deeper machining features.
Small cutting tools have less material at the cutting edge and can be more sensitive to wear.
The ultra-fine grain carbide and AlTiCrSiN coating are designed to support edge stability under demanding conditions.
High-speed and dry machining of hardened materials can generate substantial heat.
The AlTiCrSiN coating provides high-temperature performance above approximately 1100°C to support these cutting conditions.
The HS200 is suitable for:
Tool selection should take into account workpiece hardness, feature size, required reach, tool diameter, machine rigidity, and cutting parameters.
The HS200 Micro Diameter Long Neck Ball Nose End Mill is suitable for:
It is particularly suited to applications where small feature size and deep tool access are required at the same time.

The main advantage of this configuration is the combination of micro-scale cutting and extended reach.
It is designed for small, deep, or recessed features where a conventional ball nose end mill may be limited by either cutting diameter or tool access.
The AlTiCrSiN coating and ultra-fine carbide substrate further support high-speed machining of hardened materials up to 65 HRC.
Highly detailed components may require specific tool diameters, neck lengths, cutting lengths, or other geometry.
