Accupro 12184095 Ball End Mill 0.1563 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184095 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. It features a 0.1563-inch (5/32-inch) mill diameter with a 0.375-inch length of cut and a 2-inch overall length. The two-flute configuration and 40-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating extends tool life by improving surface hardness and reducing friction at the cutting edge. This is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool manufactured from micrograin solid carbide for consistent edge integrity in close-tolerance work.

This ball end mill is suited for finishing passes, contour milling, slotting, and 3D profiling on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The stub-length design improves rigidity, making it effective in applications where chatter or deflection is a concern. The 3/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders used in light to medium-duty milling setups. It is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shop, tool-and-die, aerospace, or general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 0.1563-inch (5/32-inch) ball nose diameter for precise contour and profile milling
• TiCN coating improves wear resistance and tool longevity on hardened and abrasive materials
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers consistent edge sharpness and dimensional stability
• 40-degree helix angle supports efficient chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Stub-length classification increases rigidity and reduces deflection in tight setups
• Right-hand flute and cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tool for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with a collet or end mill holder sized for a 3/16-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or tool holder to the manufacturer-recommended insertion depth before torquing the retention nut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator when working to tight tolerances.
