Accupro 12184248 Ball End Mill 0.25in 2 Flute Solid Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184248 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers consistent rigidity and edge retention at elevated speeds. The 0.25-inch diameter cutting head features two right-hand spiral flutes with a 40-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. A titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating adds surface hardness and improves wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The extra-long 1.5-inch length of cut and 4-inch overall length make it well suited for deep-pocket and contour work.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines for profiling, slotting, and 3D contouring operations. The extra-long configuration provides the reach needed for deep-cavity milling, stepped features, and hard-to-access pocket floors. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional CNC spindle setups. Machinists working in job shops, aerospace component work, and mold-and-die applications will find the TiCN coating beneficial in abrasive and moderately hard workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• TiCN coating for increased surface hardness and extended tool life
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Extra-long 1.5-inch length of cut for deep-pocket and contour applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Single-end design with 0.25-inch shank diameter for standard collet and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-install end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills using standard 0.25-inch collets or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is locked out before loading or changing tooling. Use a properly sized collet or shrink-fit holder torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification. Verify runout after installation and confirm cutting parameters match the workpiece material and coating type before initiating a cut.
