Accupro 12184125 Ball End Mill 0.2362 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184125 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 0.2362-inch (6 mm) mill diameter and a 2-flute spiral configuration, this single-end tool delivers clean material removal in tight-tolerance applications. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces, while the TiCN coating adds surface hardness and wear resistance for extended tool life. The micrograin carbide substrate supports high-speed cutting with minimal deflection. Machinists and toolroom operators working on CNC machining centers and manual mills rely on this geometry for contouring, slotting, and profiling operations that require a ball-nose profile.

This end mill suits stub-length applications where rigidity and reduced overhang are priorities. The 0.4724-inch (12 mm) length of cut and 63 mm overall length make it well suited for shallow-to-moderate depth passes in mold work, die cavities, and precision component finishing. The 6 mm shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are the standard orientation for conventional CNC and manual milling setups. This is a single-end tool, so it is replaced rather than re-tipped when worn.

Key Features

• 0.2362-inch (6 mm) ball end diameter for precise contouring and radius profiling
• TiCN coating improves wear resistance and reduces built-up edge in ferrous materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and lowers cutting temperature
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate resists chipping at high surface speeds
• Stub-length design (0.4724-inch LOC) maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral — compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with collets or end mill holders that accept a 6 mm shank diameter. Suitable for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a TiCN-coated micrograin carbide tool is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Install in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder to ensure full shank engagement and minimize runout. Verify spindle speed and feed rate against manufacturer cutting data for TiCN-coated carbide tools before starting a cut. Inspect the collet and holder for wear or contamination that could affect concentricity. Do not exceed the rated length of cut when setting depth of pass.
