Accupro 12184230 Ball End Mill 0.5in 2 Flute Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184230 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 0.5-inch mill diameter, 2-inch length of cut, and a 40-degree helix angle, this single-end tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in a variety of materials. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance, while the TiCN coating extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining cells.

This ball end mill is suited for profiling, contouring, and 3D surface milling where a full-radius tip is required. The long-length configuration allows for deeper reach into pockets and complex workpiece geometries. Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flutes make it compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. It is appropriate for use in both roughing and semi-finishing passes where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• TiCN coating reduces friction and increases wear resistance in ferrous applications
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Long-length design provides extended reach for deep pocket and contour work
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for compatibility with standard spindle setups
• Single-end configuration with a 0.5-inch shank diameter for secure toolholder engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit option for standard 0.5-inch shank toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a long-length ball end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. The 0.5-inch shank should be secured in a properly sized collet or end mill holder torqued to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to confirm proper seating and concentricity.
