Built from micrograin solid carbide, this 3-flute tool delivers rigidity and edge retention in demanding cutting conditions. The ball end geometry produces a 3\/64-inch nose radius suited for smooth surface finishes on 3D profiling passes. With a 2-degree taper per side, a 3\/32-inch small-end diameter, and a 1-1\/4-inch length of cut, it is used in CNC machining centers for die, mold, and aerospace part work where tapered wall geometry is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for finish and semi-finish passes in harder workpiece materials where micrograin carbide provides adequate wear resistance without a coating. The 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation along the flute length. The right-hand spiral, right-hand cut configuration is standard for conventional CNC vertical and horizontal machining setups. The 3\/16-inch straight shank fits standard collet chucks and shrink-fit holders sized for that diameter. Machinists working in tool and die, mold making, and precision prototype shops will find this geometry useful for core and cavity work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for edge stability in hardened and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall end with 3\/64-inch nose radius for smooth 3D contour finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-degree taper per side enables clean angled wall geometry in a single pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute, 30-degree helix design balances chip evacuation and cutting edge strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in ferrous and non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide tapered ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers with 3\/16-inch collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, or equivalent toolholding systems accepting a straight shank of that diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and the tool change is performed according to the machine manufacturer's lockout\/tagout procedure before seating or removing this tool. Verify runout in the toolholder before initiating a cutting program, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide end mills. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended speed and feed parameters for the workpiece material and depth of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Angle Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: 12177599\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737234964786,"sku":"12177599","price":97.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9b52df041fd1addcd2986e49605d55f3.jpg?v=1788785890","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177599-tapered-ball-end-mill-3-flutes-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
