Accupro 12184569 Ball End Mill 1 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184569 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 1 inch cutting diameter and a 1.75 inch length of cut, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and contouring applications where a spherical cutting geometry is required. The 4-flute configuration provides a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality. A 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces chatter. The TiCN coating adds surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining facilities.

This ball end mill is suited for 3-axis and multi-axis CNC machining centers running ferrous alloys, hardened steels, stainless steel, and non-ferrous materials. The micrograin carbide substrate supports higher cutting speeds and feeds compared to standard carbide grades. Single-end geometry and a 1 inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard ER collet chucks, hydraulic toolholders, and shrink-fit holders sized for 1 inch shanks. The 4 inch overall length provides sufficient reach for most cavity and contour work without sacrificing rigidity.

Key Features

• 1 inch cutting diameter with ball-nose geometry for 3D contour and cavity milling
• 1.75 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth profiling passes
• 4-flute spiral design balances material removal rate with surface finish
• 40-degree right-hand helix reduces cutting forces and minimizes chatter
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and extends tool life in abrasive materials
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate supports elevated speeds and feeds

Compatibility

Designed as a single-end replacement or new-install ball end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills using 1 inch straight-shank toolholders including ER collet chucks, hydraulic chucks, and shrink-fit holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle and toolholder are clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Confirm tool projection and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow all machine guarding and PPE requirements per applicable shop safety standards.
