Accupro 12180932 Ball End Mill 0.08 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12180932 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precise contouring, profiling, and 3D milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.08 inch cutting diameter and a 0.08 inch length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature detail work requiring tight tolerances. The 2-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, while the AlTiN coating extends tool life in high-heat cutting environments. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding materials. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in precision manufacturing environments.

This ball end mill suits CNC milling machines and machining centers used in aerospace, mold and die, medical device, and general precision machining applications. The 0.08 inch diameter makes it well suited for fine-detail passes, tight radii, and small-pocket work. The 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders commonly found in vertical and horizontal machining centers. The single-end configuration is standard for this class of finishing and semi-finishing tool.

Key Features

• 0.08 inch ball nose diameter for small-feature contouring and detail milling
• AlTiN coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 2-flute spiral design promotes chip evacuation in shallow and confined cuts
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC spindle use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit tool for CNC machining centers and milling machines equipped with 1/4 inch collets or tool holders accepting a 1/4 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or tool holder. Verify collet size matches the 1/4 inch shank before tightening to prevent runout. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for collet nut tightening and confirm tool length offset in the CNC controller before beginning a cut.
