Accupro 12183941 Ball End Mill 0.1772 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12183941 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.1772 inch (4.5 mm) cutting diameter and a 0.6299 inch (16 mm) length of cut, this tool handles contour milling, profiling, and 3D surface work where a full-radius tip is required. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, toolrooms, and production machining cells.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual mills capable of holding a 6 mm shank. It is appropriate for finish and semi-finish passes on contoured surfaces, die and mold work, and detailed pocket work where a ball-nose profile is required. The uncoated bright finish makes it a versatile choice across a range of workpiece materials where a specific coating is not required or where regrinding is anticipated.

Key Features

• 0.1772 inch (4.5 mm) ball nose cutting diameter for precision contour and profile work
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended edge life
• 40-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• 2-flute geometry optimized for finishing passes and detailed surface work
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of materials and regrind applications
• Single end, right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with a 6 mm collet or toolholder capable of accepting a 6 mm round shank end mill.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing any end mill. Seat the shank fully and evenly in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention nut per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with an indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
