Accupro 12184437 Ball End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184437 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. It measures 0.1875 inches in diameter with a 0.75 inches length of cut and an overall length of 2.5 inches. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. A TiCN coating adds surface hardness and reduces friction, extending tool life in demanding machining environments. This end mill is typically installed and run by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and production settings.

This ball end mill is suited for 3D contouring, profiling, slotting, and finishing passes on molds, dies, and complex workpiece geometries. The ball nose geometry generates smooth radius profiles and is commonly used in vertical machining centers and CNC milling machines. With a 3/16 inches shank diameter matching the cutter diameter, it seats directly in standard collet systems without a reducer. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction make it compatible with conventional CNC spindle configurations.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high hardness and extended tool life
• TiCN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance in ferrous materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and smooth surface finish
• 3 spiral flutes balance chip load and cutting stability at higher feed rates
• Ball nose geometry enables 3D contouring and radius profiling in a single pass
• Single-end design with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills equipped with collet toolholding systems accepting a 3/16 inches shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by machinists using a precision collet chuck or end mill holder rated for the 3/16 inches shank diameter. Power down and lock out the spindle before installing or removing the tool. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and degrades surface finish. Follow shop-standard speeds and feeds for carbide tooling based on workpiece material.
