Accupro 12184205 Ball End Mill 0.75in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184205 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting, die and mold work, and contour profiling. With a 0.75 inch mill diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, this two-flute tool is built for applications requiring accurate radial profiles and smooth surface finishes. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces during operation. This tool is sold as a single-end configuration and is intended for use by machinists and toolmakers in production and job shop environments.

This ball end mill suits CNC machining centers and manual mills where contour milling, slotting, and 3D profiling are required. The 0.75 inch shank diameter matches the mill diameter for straightforward tool holding in standard collets or end mill holders. The stub length category, with a 3 inch overall length, provides added rigidity for applications where reach is not a limiting factor. Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard configurations compatible with conventional CNC spindle setups. The uncoated finish makes it suitable for use with cutting fluids on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for improved hardness and edge retention
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Ball end geometry suited for 3D contouring, profiling, and die work
• Two-flute design balances chip clearance with cutting rigidity
• Uncoated finish compatible with flood coolant and standard cutting oils
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit tooling accepting a 0.75 inch shank diameter. Right-hand cut configuration is compatible with standard CNC and manual milling spindles.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a safe, locked-out state. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the tool holder per the holder manufacturer specifications before running. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use. Verify spindle speed and feed rate settings are appropriate for the workpiece material before engaging the cut.
