Accupro 12184485 Ball End Mill 0.75 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184485 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contouring, profiling, and 3D milling operations in ferrous and hardened materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cutting environments. It carries a TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coating that reduces friction and extends tool life compared to uncoated carbide. The 0.75 inch diameter, 3-flute geometry, and 40-degree right-hand helix provide a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality. With a 6 inch overall length and 3 inch length of cut, this mill falls into the extra-long category, giving machinists reach for deep-cavity and tall-workpiece applications that standard-length tooling cannot access.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers handling mold and die work, deep-pocket profiling, and complex 3D surface finishing. The extra-long reach makes it appropriate for aerospace, automotive tooling, and general job-shop work where part geometry requires extended tool projection. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional CNC spindle configurations. Machinists working with hardened steels, stainless, and cast iron will benefit from the TiCN coating and micrograin carbide substrate combination. This is a professional-grade cutting tool intended for use by experienced machinists and CNC programmers.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for improved hardness and edge retention
• TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous materials
• 40-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• 3 inch length of cut with 6 inch overall length provides extra-long reach for deep-cavity work
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance with rigidity at 0.75 inch diameter
• Single-end configuration with 0.75 inch shank diameter for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and mills equipped with standard ER, collet chuck, or end mill holder tooling systems accepting a 0.75 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing tooling. Secure the shank to the full recommended grip depth in the tool holder to minimize runout and prevent pullout under cutting loads. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine tool builder guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material and machine capability.
