Accupro 12184323 Ball End Mill 1 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184323 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contour milling, profiling, and 3D surface work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with titanium carbonitride (TiCN), it delivers hardness and wear resistance suited for demanding cutting operations. The 1 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1.75 inch length of cut and a 40-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. Three right-hand spiral flutes provide a balance between cutting edge strength and chip clearance. This tool is installed by machinists and tooling specialists on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This ball end mill is used in applications requiring radius profiling, die and mold work, and complex curved surface cuts. The 1 inch shank diameter suits standard ER collets and end mill holders commonly found on vertical and horizontal machining centers. The 40-degree helix is well-suited for medium to high-speed cutting passes in steel, stainless, and hardened materials where the TiCN coating provides added lubricity and heat resistance. No extended reach geometry is present, keeping the tool rigid and deflection-resistant during full-depth passes.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces built-up edge in ferrous materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• 3 right-hand spiral flutes balance chip clearance with cutting edge support
• 1 inch diameter matches shank diameter for direct collet or end mill holder mounting
• Single-end design with no chipbreaker for clean finish passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers accepting a 1 inch shank diameter in standard end mill holders or ER collet chucks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the tool from its holder. Verify holder bore cleanliness and runout before clamping to rated torque per the holder manufacturer specification. Do not exceed the rated speed and feed parameters for the workpiece material and coating type.
