Accupro 12184042 Ball End Mill 0.625 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184042 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.625-inch mill diameter, a 1.25-inch length of cut, and a 40-degree helix angle, this single-end tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and consistent surface finish. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in high-speed and dry machining environments. Micrograin carbide construction supports rigidity and edge retention under demanding cutting conditions. Machinists and CNC operators rely on this geometry for profiling, contouring, and slotting applications where a true ball nose radius is required.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills performing 3D contouring, cavity milling, and finishing passes on steel, stainless, cast iron, and hardened materials. The right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute direction make it compatible with conventional right-hand spindle setups. The 0.625-inch shank diameter provides a secure grip in standard collet chucks and end mill holders. With a 3.5-inch overall length, it handles moderate-depth applications without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• 0.625-inch ball nose diameter for accurate radius profiling and 3D surface finishing
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in dry or semi-dry cutting
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge sharpness and rigidity
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Single-end design with 2 flutes for a balance of strength and chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new installation for standard 0.625-inch collet chucks, hydraulic holders, and end mill holders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after securing the tool to confirm concentricity before beginning a cut.
