Accupro 12184199 Ball End Mill 0.625 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184199 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contour milling, profiling, and 3D surface work in metalworking applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.625-inch diameter cutting end features 2 right-hand spiral flutes with a 40-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. At 3 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch length of cut, this stub-length tool provides rigidity and reduced deflection during machining operations. The uncoated finish makes it suitable for use with cutting fluids or in applications where coating is not required.

This ball end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills in job shop, production, and tool-and-die environments. It is appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes on contoured surfaces, pockets, and complex geometries. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional CNC spindle setups. Machinists and CNC operators working in precision metalworking will find the micrograin carbide construction beneficial for maintaining consistent edge geometry over extended run times.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• 2 right-hand spiral flutes for effective material removal on contoured surfaces
• Stub-length design improves rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Uncoated finish compatible with cutting fluid applications
• Tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches ensures dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.625-inch round shank with a shank diameter tolerance of -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the tool holder. Verify the tool holder collet or end mill holder matches the 0.625-inch shank diameter before clamping. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use and replace if edge integrity is compromised.
