Accupro 12185356 Ball End Mill 7/64 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185356 is a double-end ball end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and nonferrous materials. Built from solid carbide and coated with TiCN, it delivers improved wear resistance and surface finish in demanding cutting applications. The 7/64 inch cutting diameter, 4-flute geometry, and 40-degree helix angle combine to provide efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This end mill is suited for finish milling, profiling, and contouring operations where close tolerances and consistent tool life are required. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this style of mill in CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.

The 12185356 is a stub-length end mill with a 3/16 inch length of cut and 1-1/2 inch overall length, making it a compact, rigid choice for shallow-pocket milling and profiling passes. Its 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard ER or collet toolholding systems. The double-end design provides two usable cutting ends, extending effective tool life per unit. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 4-flute, 40-degree helix spiral geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• Stub-length body improves rigidity and minimizes deflection in short-reach applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC milling operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter in ER collet or equivalent toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Install into a clean, undamaged collet or toolholder and torque the collet nut to the toolholder manufacturer specification before use. Verify runout at the cutting tip with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and degrades surface finish. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tools. Follow applicable machine shop safety practices and consult the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed parameters appropriate to the workpiece material.
