Accupro 12184045 Ball End Mill 0.63 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184045 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precise contouring, slotting, and profiling operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. It features a 0.63-inch (16 mm) cutting diameter with a 1.2598-inch (32 mm) length of cut, giving operators sufficient reach for most standard milling applications. The solid micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity and edge retention needed for high-speed work in alloy steels, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials. An AlTiN coating adds heat resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge, extending tool life in dry or minimal-lubricant cutting conditions. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers working in production and job-shop environments are the primary users of this tool.

This ball end mill is suited for 3-axis and multi-axis CNC milling in both roughing and finishing passes where a full-radius tip profile is required. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute geometry are standard for conventional CNC spindle rotation. With a 40-degree helix angle and spiral flute type, chip evacuation is efficient in both ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The 16 mm shank diameter matches standard ER and side-lock toolholders common in production environments, and the 89 mm overall length keeps overhang manageable for rigidity.

Key Features

• 0.63-inch (16 mm) ball end cutting diameter for full-radius contouring and 3D surfacing
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for superior hardness and edge retention
• AlTiN coating provides oxidation resistance and extends tool life in high-heat cutting conditions
• 40-degree helix angle with spiral flutes promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Single-end design with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction, compatible with standard CNC spindles
• 16 mm shank diameter fits common ER collet and side-lock toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 16 mm round shank. No specific model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and at rest before inserting or removing the tool from the toolholder. Verify collet or chuck runout is within acceptable tolerance before cutting, as excessive runout will accelerate wear on carbide end mills. Follow shop speeds-and-feeds guidelines for the specific workpiece material and apply cutting fluid or air blast as appropriate for the coating type.
