Accupro 12184271 Ball End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184271 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for demanding cutting applications. The tool measures 1 inch in diameter with a 2-inch length of cut, a 1-inch shank diameter, and a 6-inch overall length, placing it in the long-reach category. A 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is suited for profiling, contouring, and slotting operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a ball-nose profile is required. The long overall length of 6 inches makes it appropriate for extended-reach setups such as deep pocket milling or contoured surface work. The uncoated finish is compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and is a common choice when coating-sensitive workpiece materials are involved. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC spindle configurations.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces heat buildup
• 2-flute spiral configuration suits slotting and profiling in a variety of materials
• Long-series OAL of 6 inches enables extended-reach and deep-pocket applications
• Uncoated finish supports broad cutting fluid compatibility
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction match standard CNC spindle setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with a 1-inch collet, end mill holder, or equivalent toolholding system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Verify the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the toolholder to the toolholder manufacturer specification before beginning a cut. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before production use to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
