Accupro 12184313 Ball End Mill 7/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184313 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) mill diameter and a 1-1/2 inch length of cut, this single-end tool handles contour milling, profiling, and slotting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral geometry paired with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts. The bright/uncoated finish suits a wide range of materials where coating is not required.

This ball end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines in job shop, toolroom, and production environments. The extra-long 6 inch overall length allows access to deep pockets, cavities, and features that standard-length end mills cannot reach. It is a practical choice for machinists working on mold and die work, aerospace components, and general precision machining where reach and accuracy are both required. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with conventional spindle rotation on standard vertical and horizontal milling setups.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 40-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Extra-long 6 inch overall length provides reach into deep pockets and cavities
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• 2-flute design balances chip clearance with rigidity for finishing passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit solid carbide ball end mill for standard 7/16 inch collets and end mill holders used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the holder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator when tight tolerances are required.
