Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for hard-material cutting. The 6.00 mm cutting diameter pairs with a 40-degree helix angle and AlTiN coating to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life in ferrous metals, hardened steels, and high-temperature alloys. Four spiral flutes provide efficient chip evacuation and a smooth finish on complex curved surfaces. Overall length is 100.00 mm with a 6.00 mm shank diameter, making it compatible with standard ER collet and shrink-fit tooling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for precision machining applications in tool-and-die, mold making, aerospace component production, and general job-shop work. The extended-reach geometry and 12.00 mm length of cut allow access to deeper cavities and pockets without sacrificing rigidity. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC spindle configurations. The AlTiN coating is particularly effective in dry or minimal-lubrication cutting environments where heat resistance is critical. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC programmers working in production or prototype settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and superior edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating reduces thermal wear and improves performance in dry-cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 spiral flutes deliver efficient chip evacuation on contoured and profiled surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended-reach design with 12.00 mm LOC enables deeper cavity and pocket access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and flute direction compatible with standard CNC spindle setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills using 6.00 mm ER collet, shrink-fit, or hydraulic chuck toolholders with right-hand spindle rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an e-stop or lock-out state before inserting or removing tooling. Verify collet size matches the 6.00 mm shank diameter and check runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cutting program. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and coating type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.102 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12177244\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729089200434,"sku":"12177244","price":100.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cb2742ac329289ddefc5349514c4ec9f.jpg?v=1788699779","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177244-ball-end-mill-6mm-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
