Accupro 12465599 Ball End Mill 0.1 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12465599 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations requiring a small-diameter cutting tool. With a 0.1 inch milling diameter and a 0.15 inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work, contour milling, and finishing passes in tight geometries. The 2-flute configuration promotes chip evacuation in shallow pockets and profile work. A 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency with edge stability in carbide-grade tooling. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for accurate, repeatable cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This is a single-end, right-hand cut tool with an uncoated finish.

This ball end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills where miniature toolpaths are required. It fits applications in mold making, die work, prototype machining, and precision component manufacturing. The 1/8 inch shank diameter makes it compatible with standard collet toolholders commonly found in small-format machining setups. The miniature series designation indicates this tool is intended for fine-feature work rather than bulk material removal. Machinists working on aluminum, brass, mild steel, and similar workpiece materials will find this tool appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing operations.

Key Features

• 0.1 inch milling diameter with a tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches for accurate sizing
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for improved hardness and edge retention
• 30-degree helix angle supports smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• 2-flute spiral design optimized for detail work and contour paths
• 1/8 inch shank with a tight tolerance of -0.0001 to -0.0003 inches for secure toolholder fit
• Uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids on a range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as a miniature-series replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for CNC and manual milling machines equipped with 1/8 inch collet toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for toolholder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify collet condition and cleanliness before seating the shank to maintain concentricity. Set appropriate feed rates and spindle speeds for the workpiece material — do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended parameters for this diameter class.
