Accupro 12184924 Ball End Mill 1 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12184924 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of complex contoured surfaces, 3D profiling, and finish machining operations. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers hardness and wear resistance suited for demanding cutting conditions including hardened steels, stainless, and high-temp alloys. The AlTiN coating adds thermal protection and extends tool life in dry or semi-dry machining environments. With a 1 inch cutting diameter, 2 inch length of cut, and a 40-degree helix angle, this tool provides aggressive chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. It is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, toolrooms, and production machining environments.

This end mill is suited for vertical machining centers, horizontal mills, and CNC routers where long-reach access or deep pocket profiling is required. The long-length configuration with a 6 inch overall length allows entry into deeper cavities while maintaining rigidity through the solid carbide construction. The single-end, right-hand cutting geometry with right-hand spiral flutes is standard for conventional CNC milling setups. Applications include die and mold work, aerospace component profiling, and general precision part machining where a ball nose profile is specified.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high hardness and extended tool life
• AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance for dry and high-speed machining
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced chatter
• 4-flute spiral configuration for smooth finish cuts and improved feed rates
• Long-length design at 6 inches OAL enables deep cavity and contour access
• Single-end, right-hand cut and flute direction compatible with standard CNC spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tooling for CNC machining centers accepting a 1 inch straight shank with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within the tool holder to the recommended grip length and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the controller is in an idle state before loading or removing the tool. Follow shop-specific feeds, speeds, and depth-of-cut parameters appropriate for the workpiece material and machine capability.
