Accupro 12184240 Ball End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Carbide Altin

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184240 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in demanding machining environments. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for high-speed cutting in hardened steels, stainless alloys, and exotic materials. The 1-inch cutting diameter paired with a 3-inch length of cut and 6-inch overall length places it in the extra-long reach category, making it suitable for deep-pocket milling and cavity work. An AlTiN coating extends tool life by reducing heat absorption at the cutting edge and improving wear resistance at elevated cutting speeds. A 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces during aggressive passes.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers for die and mold work, deep-pocket profiling, and 3D contouring where extended reach is required. The 1-inch shank diameter provides secure tool holding in standard end mill holders, collet chucks, and hydraulic chucks. Single-end geometry makes this tool well suited for production environments where tool changes are infrequent and full tool life is expected per cutting end. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in job shops, tool and die facilities, and aerospace or automotive production environments.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior edge retention and rigidity
• AlTiN coating reduces heat absorption and improves wear resistance in high-speed applications
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Extra-long 6-inch overall length enables deep-pocket and cavity milling operations
• Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Single-end design for full tool life per cutting end

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers with standard 1-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, or hydraulic chucks. Suitable for cutting hardened steels, stainless alloys, titanium, and similar materials where AlTiN coating performance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tool holder manufacturer torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout does not exceed acceptable limits for the application before beginning a cut. Always reference the machining center control and tool holder documentation for proper setup procedures.
