Accupro 12179295 Ball End Mill 0.75in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12179295 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and finishing applications. With a 0.75 inch mill diameter, 3 inch length of cut, and a 4-flute spiral configuration, this single-end tool delivers efficient material removal and a quality surface finish in a single setup. The 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. An nACRo coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, extending tool life in demanding machining conditions. This end mill is manufactured from micrograin carbide for consistent edge integrity across its full cutting length.

This end mill is suited for milling contoured surfaces, slots, pockets, and 3D profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The ball nose geometry makes it a common choice for die and mold work, ramp milling, and profiling cuts where a radiused tip is required. With a 6 inch overall length and 0.75 inch shank diameter, it fits standard toolholders used in CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are consistent with conventional CNC spindle rotation. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• 4-flute spiral design balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• nACRo coating improves wear resistance and thermal performance in hardened and abrasive materials
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers consistent edge sharpness and dimensional accuracy
• Single-end configuration with 0.75 inch shank diameter for standard CNC toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new installation for CNC machining centers accepting a 0.75 inch shank diameter toolholder. No specific compatible machine models or replacement part numbers were identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle at a complete stop before toolholder changes. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the toolholder is torqued to the machine manufacturer's specified value using the correct spanner or torque wrench. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or damage before use. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to confirm proper seating and avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
