Accupro 12184025 Ball End Mill 0.4724 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184025 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and composite materials. With a 0.4724-inch (12 mm) cutting diameter and a 0.9843-inch (25 mm) length of cut, it delivers consistent material removal at controlled depths. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cutting applications. A 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This tool is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC milling machines and machining centers.

This end mill suits a wide range of milling applications including profiling, contouring, slotting, and finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The single-end configuration and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard CNC mill spindle setups. The 12 mm shank diameter allows direct clamping in metric collets or end mill holders. Its uncoated finish makes it a practical choice for applications where a coated tool is not required or where re-sharpening is anticipated.

Key Features

• 0.4724-inch (12 mm) ball end cutting diameter for precise radius profiling
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and extended tool life
• 40-degree helix angle supports efficient chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• 0.9843-inch (25 mm) length of cut suits moderate-depth pocket and contour work
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC spindle use
• Single-end design with 12 mm shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills equipped with metric collet systems or end mill holders accepting a 12 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom practices. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully in the holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping to ensure proper tool seating prior to cutting.
