Accupro 12184419 Ball End Mill 3/16 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184419 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal-cutting applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for demanding materials. The 0.1875-inch (3/16-inch) cutting diameter and 0.375-inch length of cut make it well suited for contouring, profiling, and slotting in tight geometries. A TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working on precision components will find this tool a reliable choice for finish and semi-finish passes.

This ball end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where a small-diameter, high-performance cutting tool is required. It is suited for mold and die work, aerospace components, and general precision machining where accurate ball-nose profiles are needed. The 3/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and toolholders common in both production and job-shop environments. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional CNC spindle setups.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in a variety of materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting
• 3-flute spiral design balances strength and chip clearance for finish milling
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction
• 0.375-inch length of cut suits contouring and slotting in confined geometries

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/16-inch shank ball end mill compatible with collets, shrink-fit holders, and milling chucks sized for that shank diameter on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully in the toolholder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening; never grip on the fluted section. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked state before changing tools. Follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines for runout inspection after tool installation.
