Accupro 12177184 Ball End Mill 0.75in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177184 is a single-end ball end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), it handles elevated cutting temperatures and abrasive workpiece materials effectively. The 0.75 inch diameter cutting head features 4 spiral flutes with a 40-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. With a 1.5 inch length of cut and a 4.5 inch reach length, this tool is suited for deep-pocket and contour milling operations. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments will find this an adaptable general-purpose and extended-reach end mill.

This end mill is suited for milling operations requiring ball-nose geometry, including 3D contouring, profiling, slotting, and ramp milling. The extended reach configuration with a 4.5 inch reach length makes it appropriate for workpieces with deep cavities or tall features where standard-length tools cannot reach. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC machining centers. It is applicable in both roughing and finishing passes depending on feed and speed parameters selected for the workpiece material.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and tool life in ferrous and high-temp alloy cutting
• 40-degree helix angle with 4 spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Extended reach design with 4.5 inch reach length for deep-pocket milling
• Ball-nose geometry supports 3D contouring and profiling operations
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit solid carbide ball end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.75 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians using an appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for a 0.75 inch shank diameter. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the tool. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after seating to minimize premature wear and maintain dimensional accuracy. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting cutting parameters.
