Accupro 12465461 Ball End Mill 0.031 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12465461 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.031-inch cutting diameter and a 0.047-inch length of cut, this stub-length tool is built for close-tolerance work in tight geometries. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the rigidity and edge retention needed at small diameters. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation during contour milling, slotting, and profiling passes. Machinists and toolroom operators use this end mill for die and mold work, detailed part features, and fine finishing cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This tool is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter, high-precision cutting is required. The single-end, right-hand cutting and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional spindle setups. The stub-length design minimizes deflection at small diameters, making it a reliable choice for shallow pocketing, engraving, and contour work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The bright uncoated finish is compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials and cutting fluid systems.

Key Features

• 0.031-inch ball nose diameter for fine detail and radius milling
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow in small-diameter cuts
• Stub length minimizes tool deflection during close-tolerance operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of materials and coolants

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.125-inch straight shank. Verify spindle collet or chuck capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the shank fully in the collet or tool holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention system per the machine manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges under magnification before use — carbide end mills at this diameter are brittle and susceptible to chipping if mishandled.
