Accupro 12185353 Ball End Mill 0.1875 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185353 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.1875-inch (3/16-inch) cutting diameter and a 4-flute configuration, it delivers clean material removal and a fine surface finish in a compact stub-length profile. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while reducing cutting forces. A TiCN coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. This double-end design provides two usable cutting ends, improving cost-per-edge value. Installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop settings.

This ball end mill is suited for contouring, slotting, and profiling operations on milling machines and CNC machining centers. The stub-length geometry provides rigidity during aggressive cuts in tight workspaces. The double-end configuration makes it a practical choice for high-volume production environments where tool changes need to be minimized. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling setups.

Key Features

• 0.1875-inch ball nose diameter for precise contour and radius milling
• 4-flute spiral design for improved surface finish and feed rates
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• TiCN coating for enhanced wear resistance and extended tool life
• Double-end construction provides two cutting ends per tool
• Stub-length profile increases rigidity during deep or aggressive cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cutting tool for use in standard milling machine spindles and CNC machining centers accepting a 3/16-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within a collet or end mill holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth before operation. Verify spindle speed and feed rate settings are appropriate for the workpiece material before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool if damage is observed.
