With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 2 inch length of cut, and four right-hand spiral flutes at a 40-degree helix angle, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. The nACRo coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal protection, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. It is a single-end tool ground from micrograin carbide for consistent edge integrity and dimensional accuracy within a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for die and mold work, contour milling, profiling, and finishing passes in machining centers. The ball nose geometry makes it the right choice for 3D contouring, curved surface work, and slotting in applications where a radiused tip is required. The 0.5 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and end mill holders common in CNC machining environments. It is used by machinists and tooling shops working in steel, stainless, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys where a coated carbide tool is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003enACRo coating for improved wear resistance and heat resistance in hard material cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches for precise dimensional control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 4 inch overall length and 2 inch length of cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard 0.5 inch end mill holders and collet chucks on CNC machining centers.

The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool holder secured before inserting or removing the end mill. Ensure the shank is seated to the correct gauge length in the holder and that the set screw or collet nut is torqued according to the holder manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the cutting edges before use and do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and machine rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: nACRo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\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: 12179282\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732708196658,"sku":"12179282","price":146.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2b9554a2efa3217a88aed32f1797f08b.jpg?v=1788745908","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12179282-ball-end-mill-0-5-in-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
