Accupro 12184568 Ball End Mill 1 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184568 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. It features a 1 inch cutting diameter with a 1.75 inch length of cut, a 40-degree helix angle, and a 4-flute spiral flute configuration in a right-hand cutting direction. The micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention suited to demanding ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright uncoated finish makes this a general-purpose option well matched to applications where coating is not required or where re-sharpening is anticipated. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments will find this end mill a reliable choice for profiling, contouring, and slotting cuts.

This single-end ball end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where a full-radius tip geometry is required. Typical applications include 3D contour milling, cavity work, die and mold operations, and radius profiling in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The 1 inch shank diameter and 4 inch overall length provide rigid setup characteristics in standard ER or straight-bore toolholders. No extended reach configuration is included.

Key Features

• 1 inch cutting diameter with ball-nose tip for full-radius profiling and contouring
• 4-flute spiral configuration for improved chip evacuation and surface finish
• 40-degree helix angle supports aggressive material removal with reduced chatter
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining and resharpenable applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill replacement suitable for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1 inch straight shank toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify that the toolholder bore and collet are clean and within tolerance before seating the shank, and confirm runout with a dial indicator prior to beginning the cut. Follow the machine manufacturer and cutting tool manufacturer recommendations for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
