Accupro 12183903 Ball End Mill 0.0625 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12183903 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for demanding cuts in hardened steels, stainless, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys. The tool measures 0.0625 inches in diameter with a 0.1875-inch length of cut and a 1.5-inch overall length. A 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. The TiCN coating adds surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in abrasive materials. Machinists and CNC operators use this end mill for finishing passes and fine detail work on dies, molds, and precision parts.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and high-speed spindle setups where small-diameter tooling is required. The 0.0625-inch diameter makes it appropriate for fine contour work, engraving, and tight-radius pocketing. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders commonly found in light-duty machining setups. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling operations. Single-end construction means one cutting end per tool.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and long edge life
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces wear in abrasive materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• 0.0625-inch ball nose diameter for fine contour and radius milling
• 2-flute design balances chip clearance with cutting stability at small diameters
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for standard CNC milling compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/8-inch collets and tool holders in CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills configured for small-diameter carbide end mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing tooling. Ensure the collet and tool holder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation, as excessive runout will accelerate wear on small-diameter tools and compromise surface finish.
