Accupro 12465519 Ball End Mill 0.06 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12465519 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles in demanding machining environments. The 0.06-inch diameter cutting head with a 0.09-inch length of cut (LOC) makes this tool well suited for fine detail work in molds, dies, and intricate part geometries. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention required when machining hardened steels, stainless, aluminum, and other difficult materials. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces at small diameters. Licensed machinists and CNC operators will recognize this as a go-to tool for tight-tolerance finish passes.

This end mill fits applications requiring small-diameter precision cutting where standard tooling cannot reach or resolve the required geometry. Typical use cases include mold and die work, medical component machining, aerospace detail milling, and prototype part production. The single-end, right-hand cut configuration suits conventional CNC machining centers and manual mills running right-hand spindle rotation. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and collet-style toolholders commonly found in production and job shop environments.

Key Features

• 0.06-inch ball nose diameter with 0.09-inch LOC for fine detail and contoured surface milling
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flute promotes chip evacuation at miniature cutting diameters
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of work materials without coating compatibility concerns
• 1/8-inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard collet toolholding systems
• 1.5-inch overall length provides reach while maintaining rigidity in miniature-diameter applications

Compatibility

Designed as a miniature-series replacement or direct-use ball end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8-inch shank diameter collet or toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an e-stop or powered-down state before changing tooling. Secure the 1/8-inch shank to the specified collet torque per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines and verify runout with a dial indicator before production cutting. At 0.06-inch diameter, this tool is highly sensitive to excessive side load and should be programmed with appropriate feed-per-tooth values to avoid breakage.
