Accupro 12184101 Ball End Mill 0.1719 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184101 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.1719-inch cutting diameter and a 40-degree helix angle, this single-end tool delivers smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces across a wide range of materials. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts. A TiCN coating adds surface hardness and lubricity, extending tool life in abrasive or harder workpiece materials. This tool is installed and run by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.

This end mill is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes on molds, dies, and precision components where a ball-nose profile is required. The stub length configuration keeps the tool rigid, minimizing deflection in tight-tolerance cuts. With a 3/16-inch shank diameter and 0.375-inch length of cut, it fits standard collets and toolholders used on vertical machining centers and CNC mills. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional spindle configurations.

Key Features

• 0.1719-inch ball nose diameter for precise contour and 3D surface milling
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces built-up edge on harder materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and smooth cutting action
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate delivers superior edge retention over HSS alternatives
• Stub length design maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection in precision setups
• Single-end, right-hand cut configuration suits standard CNC and manual milling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/16-inch collets and toolholders on vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and compatible manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the 3/16-inch shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut according to the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
