With a 0.5 inch mill diameter and a 1.5 inch length of cut, this tool handles contour milling, profiling, and 3D surface work where precise ball-nose geometry is required. The 4-flute, right-hand cutting configuration with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces chatter on difficult materials. A TiCN coating adds surface hardness and thermal resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Micrograin carbide substrate supports higher cutting speeds and improved edge retention compared to standard carbide grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball end mill is suited for CNC machining centers in job shop, die and mold, and production environments. The extra-long 6 inch overall length allows access to deep pockets and tall workpieces where standard-length tools cannot reach. The 0.5 inch shank diameter fits standard ER, shrink-fit, and side-lock toolholders. Single-end construction means the tool is replaced rather than reindexed, making it appropriate for precision finishing and semi-finishing passes on hardened steels, stainless, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch diameter ball nose geometry for contour and 3D surface milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 flutes with 40-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating for increased surface hardness and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate for sharp, durable cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra-long 6 inch OAL for deep-pocket and tall-workpiece access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end, right-hand cutting configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for CNC machining centers accepting a 0.5 inch shank diameter in standard ER, shrink-fit, or side-lock toolholding systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom professional. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Confirm toolholder runout is within acceptable tolerance before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates wear on carbide end mills. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for the workpiece material and coating type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12184968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744966148402,"sku":"12184968","price":178.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fbc6b8f23fea34f86db4039f6b8ee30e.jpg?v=1788862788","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12184968-ball-end-mill-0-5in-4-flute-solid-carbide-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
