Accupro 12184370 Ball End Mill 0.3594 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184370 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.3594 inch (23/64 inch) cutting diameter and a 3-flute spiral design, this tool delivers smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finish. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient cutting action and reduced chatter. It arrives uncoated and ready for use in a wide range of workpiece materials. Machined from micrograin solid carbide, the tool holds tight tolerances and resists wear better than high-speed steel alternatives. Installation and use require standard CNC or manual milling equipment with a compatible 3/8 inch collet or chuck.

This ball end mill is suited for contour milling, profiling, slotting, and 3D surfacing operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The single-end configuration and right-hand cutting direction make it a straightforward fit for standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. Its 0.875 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth passes while maintaining rigidity. Machinists working in job shops, tool rooms, or production environments will find this tool appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes where surface quality matters.

Key Features

• 3-flute spiral design promotes chip clearance and smooth cutting action
• 40-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and chatter
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life and wear resistance
• Uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of base materials
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with a 3/8 inch collet, end mill holder, or compatible chuck system accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling setup procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before seating or removing the end mill from its holder. Verify collet or chuck runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts to protect both the tool and the workpiece. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling supplier recommendations for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
