Accupro 12184107 Ball End Mill 0.1875 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184107 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision contouring, profiling, and 3D milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed in demanding CNC machining environments. The 0.1875-inch (3/16-inch) diameter cutting head features 2 right-hand spiral flutes with a 40-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. A TiCN coating adds surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in abrasive materials. This is a stub-length geometry, prioritizing rigidity over reach.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and high-speed spindle setups where tight-tolerance profiling and contoured surface work are required. The 0.375-inch length of cut and 2.0-inch overall length make it appropriate for shallow-pocket milling, die work, and finish passes on complex geometries. It is a standard choice for tool and die makers, mold machinists, and precision CNC operators working with steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials where TiCN performance is warranted.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and edge retention
• TiCN coating provides enhanced wear resistance and surface hardness
• 40-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip flow and smooth cutting action
• Stub-length geometry maximizes tool rigidity during finish and profiling passes
• Single-end design with right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC spindle use
• Ball end geometry enables 3D contouring, radial profiling, and curved surface milling

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling addition for CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning any cut, as excessive runout will accelerate edge wear on carbide tooling.
