Accupro 12463596 Ball End Mill 0.026 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12463596 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations requiring a small-diameter cutting tool. With a 0.0260-inch cutting diameter and a 0.0780-inch length of cut (LOC), this tool is built for detail work in tight geometries and contoured surfaces. The micrograin solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in demanding applications. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With a 2-flute configuration and single-end design, it is suited for finish milling, slotting, and profiling in small-scale or precision machining environments. Machinists and toolroom operators working in CNC machining centers and manual mills are the primary installers of this tool.

This ball end mill is intended for use in precision machining applications where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required. The miniature series designation makes it appropriate for mold work, die cavities, medical component machining, and intricate aerospace part features. The bright/uncoated finish makes it suitable for a range of workpiece materials including aluminum, plastics, and non-ferrous metals. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders commonly found in CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles.

• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000/-0.0010 inches for close-tolerance work

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/8-inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and compatible milling spindles accepting miniature-series solid carbide end mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify collet clamping torque per the tool holder manufacturer specification before beginning a cut. Inspect the cutting edge under magnification prior to use, as miniature carbide tools are susceptible to chipping if mishandled during setup.
