Accupro 12184237 Ball End Mill 0.75in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184237 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contour milling, profiling, and 3D surfacing operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers rigidity and edge retention in demanding cutting conditions. The 0.75 inch diameter cutting head pairs with a 40-degree helix angle and an AlTiN coating, making it well suited for dry or semi-dry machining of hardened steels, stainless alloys, and cast iron. With a 2.25 inch length of cut and 5 inch overall length, it handles deeper reach applications without sacrificing stability. Machinists and tooling technicians install this end mill in standard 3/4 inch collet or end mill holders.

This end mill is appropriate for use in both production and job-shop environments where high-heat, high-speed cutting is required. The long flute length makes it a practical choice for cavity work, mold and die applications, and deep-pocket profiling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is the standard orientation for conventional CNC mill spindles. It is sold as a single-piece unit and is stocked for individual replacement or tooling builds.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN coating supports high-temperature cutting with reduced heat transfer to the substrate
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and stable cutting action
• 2.25 inch length of cut enables deep-reach profiling and cavity work
• Single-end ball nose geometry for 3D contouring, ramp milling, and radial profiling
• Right-hand cut with right-hand spiral flutes, compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/4 inch collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, or end mill holders on CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the 3/4 inch shank fully into the holder and torque the retention mechanism to the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify tool runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and reduces surface finish quality.
