Accupro 12184147 Ball End Mill 0.315in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184147 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With an 8 mm (0.315 inch) mill diameter and a 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration, it delivers clean material removal in both roughing and finishing passes. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. An AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless alloys, and other demanding materials. This is a single-end tool ground from micrograin carbide substrate for edge sharpness and wear resistance.

This ball end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines operating in job shops, tool-and-die facilities, and production environments. The stub length design keeps the tool rigid for applications where chatter and deflection must be controlled. With a 12 mm (0.4724 inch) length of cut and 63 mm overall length, it fits typical short-reach profiling, contouring, and pocket milling operations. Machinists and CNC programmers working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals will find this configuration appropriate for finish passes on 3D contoured surfaces.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior edge retention and rigidity
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• 2-flute geometry suitable for contouring and profiling on CNC equipment
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle setups
• Stub length design reduces deflection in short-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and milling machines accepting an 8 mm straight shank. No specific OEM compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators using an ER collet chuck or equivalent 8 mm toolholder rated for the spindle speed and feed requirements of the operation. Ensure the toolholder bore and collet are clean and free of debris before seating the shank to the correct gauge-line depth. Confirm runout within acceptable tolerance before cutting. Never exceed the manufacturer-rated speed and feed parameters for the workpiece material and coating type.
