Accupro 12184374 Ball End Mill 3 Flute 0.375 in Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184374 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for demanding contouring, profiling, and slotting applications. The 3-flute geometry with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining a smooth surface finish. A TiCN coating adds hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge, extending tool life in abrasive materials. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working on mills and machining centers.

This end mill suits applications in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments where tight tolerances on 3D contours or complex profiles are required. The 0.375 inch diameter and 0.875 inch length of cut make it appropriate for moderate-depth passes in molds, dies, and precision components. The right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional CNC vertical milling setups. It ships as a single-end tool, meaning one cutting end per shank.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN coating reduces friction and improves tool life in abrasive and hardened materials
• 3-flute, 40-degree helix design promotes chip evacuation and smooth finishes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for standard CNC milling setups
• Single-end configuration with matched 0.375 inch shank and cutter diameter
• No chipbreaker or variable index for consistent, predictable performance in finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill suitable for use in standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit holders accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter on CNC and manual vertical milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the recommended gauge-line depth to minimize runout and tool pullout risk. Verify spindle speed and feed rate parameters for carbide tooling in the specific workpiece material before engaging the cut.
