Accupro 12184016 Ball End Mill 0.433 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184016 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and hard-material applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride), it delivers extended tool life and resistance to heat and wear in demanding cutting environments. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With a 0.433-inch (11 mm) mill diameter and a 0.984-inch (25 mm) length of cut, this end mill is suited for profiling, contouring, and finishing passes on hardened steels, stainless, and similar alloys.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and surface finish are required. The 12 mm shank diameter provides solid tool holding in standard ER and side-lock collet systems. The 76 mm overall length keeps the tool rigid enough for most cavity and pocket milling work without excessive overhang. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die makers, and job shop operators running ferrous and non-ferrous materials that benefit from TiCN coating.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN coating extends tool life on hardened steels and stainless alloys
• 40-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute spiral for standard CNC spindle use
• Single-end design with 2-flute spiral geometry for finish milling
• 0.984-inch length of cut supports moderate-depth profiling and contouring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit end mill for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills accepting a 12 mm round shank tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling and runout specifications. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or damage before mounting. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling.
