Accupro 12184196 Ball End Mill 0.5625 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184196 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. With a 0.5625-inch mill diameter and a 0.875-inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers accurate contour milling, 3D profiling, and slot milling in a range of workpiece materials. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, it holds tight tolerances and resists wear under demanding cutting conditions. The uncoated finish makes it well suited for applications where coating is selected by the operator or where base carbide performance is preferred.

This ball end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines across tool and die, moldmaking, aerospace component, and general precision machining environments. The stub length profile and right-hand cutting and flute direction make it a standard choice for finish milling and semi-finish profiling of complex surfaces. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in machine shops, production facilities, and job shops.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge integrity
• 0.5625-inch mill diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches
• 40-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• 2-flute, single-end design suited for profiling, slotting, and contour work
• Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Uncoated finish — ready for use or compatible with operator-selected coatings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end ball nose end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5625-inch shank diameter toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the 0.5625-inch shank fully into the collet or toolholder and torque the retention mechanism to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tooling.
