Accupro 12463670 Ball End Mill 0.05 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12463670 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of small features, contours, and radii in a wide range of workpiece materials. With a 0.0500 inch cutting diameter and a 0.1500 inch length of cut, this tool is built for tight-tolerance work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The two-flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining smooth cutting action. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding applications in tool rooms, production shops, and precision machining environments. This end mill is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working on vertical machining centers or CNC mills.

This miniature ball end mill is suited for milling small pockets, slots, 3D contours, and complex profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.0500 inch diameter makes it appropriate for fine detail work in die and mold machining, medical component manufacturing, and aerospace part production. Its single-end configuration and 1/8 inch shank diameter allow it to seat securely in standard collet chucks or end mill holders sized for miniature tooling. The bright uncoated finish makes it a versatile choice across a broad range of substrate materials where a coated tool is not specifically required.

Key Features

• 0.0500 inch ball end cutting diameter with 0.1500 inch length of cut for fine detail milling
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 2-flute design with 30-degree right-hand spiral helix for effective chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction for use on standard CNC and manual milling machines
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• Miniature series single-end configuration with 1/8 inch shank diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature end mill for use in standard collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, or end mill holders with a 1/8 inch bore, compatible with CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills equipped for miniature tooling.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed by a qualified machinist familiar with miniature carbide tooling. Before mounting, ensure the spindle and holder are fully powered down and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state. Miniature carbide end mills are brittle and sensitive to runout - verify holder concentricity and minimize overhang to reduce the risk of tool breakage. Consult the machine manufacturer and tooling guidelines for appropriate feeds, speeds, and clamping torque for 1/8 inch shank tooling.
