Accupro 12184183 Ball End Mill 0.4531in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184183 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and hardened materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for demanding cutting applications. The tool measures 0.4531 inches in diameter with a 0.625-inch length of cut and a 2.5-inch overall length. A 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life when machining abrasive or high-temperature alloys. Two right-hand spiral flutes with a right-hand cutting direction make this a standard configuration for CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This ball end mill is suited for contour milling, profiling, slotting, and 3D surface finishing in tool and die, aerospace, and general metalworking applications. The stub-length configuration and 0.5-inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard end mill holders and collet chucks. Its compact geometry suits work in tighter setups where a longer reach tool would introduce chatter or deflection.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and edge durability
• AlTiN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in abrasive materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 2 right-hand spiral flutes with right-hand cutting direction
• Stub-length configuration minimizes deflection in tight setups
• Single-end design with 0.5-inch shank for standard toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit toolholders on CNC machining centers and compatible manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the holder to the minimum insertion depth recommended by the toolholder manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
