Accupro 12184068 Ball End Mill 0.059 in 2 Flute Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184068 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex profiles in metalworking and machining applications. At 0.059 inches (1.5 mm) in diameter with a 0.1181-inch (3 mm) length of cut, this is a micro-geometry tool suited for fine detail work where tight tolerances are required. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the rigidity needed to maintain accuracy at small diameters. A TiCN coating reduces friction and wear, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is a single-end, stub-length tool, installed by machinists on CNC machining centers or manual mills.

This ball end mill is used in precision machining environments where small-radius profiling, 3D contouring, or micro-milling is required. The stub-length configuration maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection at small diameters, making it well suited for high-speed finish passes on hardened steels, stainless, and similar materials. The 3 mm shank diameter fits standard collet systems commonly found in CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles used in tool and die, mold making, and precision part production.

Key Features

• 0.059-inch (1.5 mm) ball nose diameter for fine detail and micro-milling work
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Stub-length configuration minimizes deflection and improves dimensional accuracy
• Single-end design with 3 mm shank diameter for compatibility with standard collet systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles accepting a 3 mm shank diameter collet. Suitable for right-hand cutting applications in tool and die, mold making, and precision component machining.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling procedures for collet-style tool holders. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe lockout state before inserting or removing the tool. Verify collet condition and cleanliness before seating the shank to prevent runout at this diameter. At 0.059 inches in diameter, any collet wear or contamination will have a measurable impact on tool performance and part accuracy.
