Accupro 12184253 Ball End Mill 0.375 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184253 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.375-inch mill diameter and a 1.75-inch length of cut, this single-end tool is built for profiling, contouring, and 3D surface work where a full-radius tip is required. The extra-long 4.0-inch overall length provides extended reach into deep pockets or cavities without sacrificing rigidity. Micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Cutting is right-hand with a right-hand spiral flute direction and a 40-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills where extended reach is needed. It is well suited for mold and die work, aerospace component profiling, and general precision part machining. The uncoated finish makes it appropriate for use with cutting fluids in aluminum, brass, mild steel, and similar materials. Machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop environments are the primary users of this tool type.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end ball nose end mill with a 0.375-inch straight shank, compatible with ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and similar toolholding systems sized for a 3/8-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed with the machine spindle at a complete stop and all power isolated. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder to the full recommended grip depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges and shank for chips or runout before initiating any cut. Follow your machine tool manufacturer and shop safety guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut selection for the workpiece material.
