Accupro 12177304 Ball End Mill 0.0787 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177304 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, 3D profiles, and radiused slots. The tool measures 2.00 mm (0.0787 inches) in cutting diameter with a matching 2.00 mm length of cut, making it suited for tight-tolerance detail work and fine finishing passes. An AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in harder workpiece materials. With a 30-degree helix angle and micrograin carbide construction, this end mill delivers clean chip evacuation and consistent edge integrity across demanding cutting applications. A licensed machinist or CNC setup technician typically selects this tool for high-speed finishing operations.

This end mill is configured as a single-end, right-hand cut tool with right-hand flute direction. The 6.00 mm shank diameter provides a rigid grip in standard collet chucks and shrink-fit holders. The extended reach design includes a 1.90 mm neck diameter and a 20.00 mm reach length, allowing access to recessed features and deep pockets without excessive tool overhang. Overall length is 57.00 mm. It is suited for CNC machining centers working in die and mold, aerospace components, medical devices, and other applications requiring fine ball-nose geometry at small diameters.

Key Features

• 2.00 mm (0.0787 inch) ball nose diameter for fine detail and contour milling
• AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance for hardened material cutting
• Micrograin solid carbide construction supports rigidity and sharp edge retention
• Extended reach with 1.90 mm neck diameter enables access to deep or recessed features
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and surface finish quality
• Single end, right-hand cut configuration compatible with standard CNC toolholding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with ER collet systems or shrink-fit holders sized for a 6.00 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the controller is in a safe state before tool changes. Confirm collet or holder bore matches the 6.00 mm shank diameter and that runout is within acceptable tolerance for the intended application. Avoid excessive cantilevering beyond the stated reach length to prevent deflection and tool breakage.
