It features a 2-degree taper per side, a 1\/2 inch small end diameter, and a 1\/4 inch nose radius that produces smooth, accurate contoured surfaces. With 3 right-hand spiral flutes ground from micrograin carbide stock, it delivers consistent chip evacuation and edge retention across extended runs. The 30-degree helix angle balances cutting performance with lateral stability. This tool is centercutting, allowing plunge entry into workpieces without pre-drilling. It is used by machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tapered ball end mill is suited for 3D profiling, mold and die work, core and cavity machining, and deep-reach contouring where a standard end mill cannot maintain consistent wall contact. The 3-1\/4 inch length of cut and 6 inch overall length provide access to deep pockets and angled walls in mold bases, die inserts, and aerospace components. The 3\/4 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and side-lock tool holders common in CNC machining centers. The uncoated finish makes it straightforward to regrind and suitable for use in non-ferrous metals and graphite electrodes where coatings can cause adhesion issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-degree taper per side for angled wall profiling and draft-angle milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall end geometry with 1\/4 inch nose radius for smooth 3D surface finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 right-hand spiral flutes at 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous metals, graphite, and regrind applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers with standard 3\/4 inch shank tool holders including ER collet chucks and side-lock holders.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is cleaned and free of debris before mounting. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tooling installation to confirm seating before beginning a cut. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for the tool holder type in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 12177612\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747101966642,"sku":"12177612","price":423.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/08d2e8d0b36485d31d6783bc54ee1d84_97ff6fe3-b315-4caa-9b95-efc2233208d3.jpg?v=1788876098","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177612-tapered-ball-end-mill-solid-carbide-3-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
