Accupro 12184091 Ball End Mill 0.1406 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184091 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.1406-inch (9/64-inch) mill diameter and a 0.375-inch length of cut, this tool is built for profiling, contouring, and slotting in tight geometries. The micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention in demanding cutting environments. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. At 2 inches overall length with a 3/16-inch shank diameter, this is a stub-length tool suited for rigid setups where minimal overhang is required. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments are the primary users.

This ball end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills for 3D profiling, die work, mold cavities, and radius-bottom slot cutting. The single-end, right-hand cutting configuration with right-hand flute direction makes it compatible with standard spindle rotation on vertical machining centers. The uncoated finish is appropriate for use with cutting fluids in aluminum, brass, mild steel, and similar materials where coating adhesion is not a requirement.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 0.1406-inch ball diameter enables small-radius profiling and contour work
• 40-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Stub-length design (2 inches OAL) maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for use with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Uncoated finish compatible with cutting fluid applications across a range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard 3/16-inch collet or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully into a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool holder specification. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state before mounting or removing the tool. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide is brittle and a damaged edge can fracture under load.
