The 3-degree taper angle per side and ball end geometry allow machinists to reach into deep pockets and cut smooth radii in a single setup. Built from micrograin carbide in a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers rigidity and edge retention on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3-flute, right-hand spiral design balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality. A 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and promotes smooth entry into the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills in tool-and-die, mold-making, and precision part manufacturing environments. The 5\/32-inch small end diameter and 1-3\/4-inch length of cut make it appropriate for detailed finishing passes and semi-finishing of tapered walls and blended contours. The 3\/8-inch shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders common in production and job-shop setups. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry where required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-degree taper angle per side for draft-wall and mold-cavity milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall end geometry with 5\/64-inch nose radius for smooth contour and radius cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute, right-hand spiral with 30-degree helix for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting capability allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 3\/8-inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a tapered ball end mill with a 3-degree included taper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a clean, undamaged collet or holder and torque the retention nut to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.1410 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/4 inches (1.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Angle per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/64 inches\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\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\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: 12177623\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739946713394,"sku":"12177623","price":149.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cd06dcfc95ceee74be9416bfda7039b4.jpg?v=1788820632","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177623-tapered-ball-end-mill-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
