Accupro 12184522 Ball End Mill 3/4 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184522 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of materials. With a 3/4 inch mill diameter and a 2 inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers consistent performance in profiling, contouring, and finishing passes. The AlTiN coating provides high heat resistance, making it well suited for dry or semi-dry cutting at elevated speeds. Three right-hand spiral flutes with a 40-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation while reducing cutting forces. Micrograin carbide construction maintains edge integrity under demanding conditions. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers specify this tool for jobs requiring tight tolerances and reliable tool life.

This end mill fits standard CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and milling machines that accept a 3/4 inch shank. The long-length configuration with a 6 inch overall length supports reaching into deeper pockets and cavities where standard-length tools fall short. Typical applications include mold and die work, aerospace component finishing, and general metalworking on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with conventional climb milling setups. It is packaged as a single unit and is intended for professional shop environments.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in high-speed and dry cutting applications
• 40-degree right-hand helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate maintains edge sharpness and resists chipping under load
• Long-length body at 6 inches overall allows reach into deep cavities and pockets
• Single-end design with 3/4 inch shank fits directly into standard collets and end mill holders
• Three flutes provide a balance between chip clearance and cutting edge count for general milling use

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with a 3/4 inch tool holding system, including ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit holders rated for the 3/4 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the tool. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the holder is torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification using the appropriate wrench or torque tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cutting program to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
