Accupro 12177252 Ball End Mill 0.0787 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177252 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.0787-inch (2.00 mm) mill diameter and a 0.1969-inch (5.00 mm) length of cut, this tool is built for tight-tolerance profiling, contouring, and slotting in confined areas. The AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and wear protection, making it well suited for high-speed machining of hardened steels, stainless steels, and cast irons. The micrograin carbide substrate delivers edge retention at small diameters where tool rigidity is critical. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill fits applications requiring extended reach in restricted-clearance zones. The 6 mm shank diameter pairs with standard collet chucks and end mill holders. A 0.7870-inch reach length and 0.0750-inch neck diameter allow access to deep pockets and stepped features without interference. The 57.00 mm overall length and single-end configuration make it compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter ball nose profiling is required.

Key Features

• 0.0787-inch (2.00 mm) ball nose diameter for fine detail and radius profiling
• AlTiN coating for high heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention at small diameters
• 30-degree helix angle with 2-flute spiral configuration for efficient chip evacuation
• Extended reach design with 0.7870-inch reach length and 0.0750-inch neck diameter
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; single-end geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with standard collet chucks or end mill holders accepting a 6 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the minimum recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping, as small-diameter carbide tools are particularly sensitive to excessive runout, which can cause premature breakage.
