Accupro 12463700 Ball End Mill 0.06 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12463700 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in tight geometries and small-feature applications. With a 0.0600 inch cutting diameter and a 0.1800 inch length of cut, this single-end mill is built for contouring, profiling, and finishing passes where tool size and rigidity are critical. The two-flute, right-hand spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining a clean cutting edge. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright/uncoated finish suits applications where coating buildup or heat-related coating failure would be a concern.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and high-speed milling operations in tool-and-die, mold making, aerospace, and medical component manufacturing environments. The 0.1250 inch (1/8 inch) shank diameter fits standard collets commonly found on vertical machining centers and CNC routers. The 1.5 inch overall length keeps the tool compact and minimizes deflection at small diameters. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working on precision small-part production or detailed cavity work.

Key Features

• 0.0600 inch ball nose diameter for small-radius contour milling and fine detail work
• 0.1800 inch length of cut supports shallow pocket and profile passes
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and general-purpose milling applications
• Single-end design with 1/8 inch shank for use in standard collet systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill compatible with standard 1/8 inch collet systems on CNC vertical machining centers, high-speed spindles, and CNC routers requiring small-diameter tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8 inch shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut according to the collet manufacturer specification. At this diameter, tool runout has a significant effect on edge life and surface finish, so verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run.
