Accupro 12184299 Ball End Mill 0.625 in 2 Flute Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184299 is a single-end ball end mill designed for machining contoured surfaces, cavities, and complex 3D profiles in metalworking applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for demanding milling operations. The 0.625 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 2 inch length of cut and a 40-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. A titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating provides added surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This end mill suits job shops, production machinists, and CNC programmers running long-reach or deep-pocket milling paths.

This tool is suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling equipment where a long-flute ball end mill is required. The 6 inch overall length accommodates setups that need extended reach into deep cavities or stepped workpieces. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute geometry are standard for conventional and climb milling on vertical and horizontal machining centers. Typical materials include alloy steels, tool steels, stainless steels, and cast iron where TiCN coating provides an advantage in abrasion resistance.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and edge retention
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and extends tool life in abrasive materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• 2 inch length of cut with 6 inch overall length for extended-reach applications
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute geometry for conventional CNC milling
• Single-end design with 5/8 inch shank diameter for standard collet or end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 5/8 inch shank ball end mill holders and collets on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills requiring a long-series, 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout specifications. Secure the 5/8 inch shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the machine spindle is at a full stop before changing tooling. Follow shop-specific feeds and speeds charts for TiCN-coated carbide end mills when programming cut parameters.
