Accupro 12184208 Ball End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184208 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 1 inch cutting diameter and a 2.25 inch length of cut, it handles deep-cavity profiling, contouring, and 3D surface work where a standard-length tool falls short. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for demanding materials. This is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with a right-hand spiral flute pattern, suited for use on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This ball end mill is appropriate for shops running ferrous and non-ferrous milling operations that require a long-reach configuration. The 5 inch overall length combined with the 1 inch shank diameter makes it well-suited for deep-pocket work and tall-workpiece applications on vertical and horizontal machining centers. The uncoated micrograin carbide construction is compatible with a range of cutting fluids and dry machining setups depending on the material being cut. Machinists and CNC programmers in production and job-shop environments are the primary users.

Key Features

• 1 inch ball nose cutting diameter for contour and 3D surface milling
• 2.25 inch length of cut handles deep-cavity and long-reach applications
• 40-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity
• Single-end, right-hand cut with spiral flute geometry
• Long-length classification for extended reach over standard tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill compatible with standard 1 inch tool holders, collet chucks, and hydraulic chucks used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the tool holder per the holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cutting operation to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
