Accupro 14556482 Ball End Mill 0.5 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14556482 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. With a 0.5-inch cutting diameter and a 1.0-inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers consistent material removal in demanding machining environments. The 40-degree helix angle and four-flute spiral configuration promote smooth chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces. An AlTiN+ coating provides thermal resistance and extends tool life in high-speed, dry, or near-dry cutting conditions. Machining professionals and CNC operators install this tool in vertical and horizontal machining centers for profiling, contouring, and slotting applications.

This ball end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers where tight tolerances and surface finish quality are required. The micrograin solid carbide substrate and right-hand flute and cutting direction make it appropriate for finish and semi-finish passes on hardened steels, alloy steels, and cast iron. The standard-length configuration and 0.5-inch shank fit conventional tool holders and collet chucks commonly used in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch ball nose cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Four spiral flutes at a 40-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and reduced chatter
• AlTiN+ coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in abrasive or hardened materials
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; single-end configuration
• 3.0-inch overall length with a 0.5-inch reach length for standard-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard production tool compatible with 0.5-inch bore collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems used in CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before loading or removing the tool from the holder. Verify shank seating depth and holder runout before beginning a cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when selecting feeds, speeds, and depth of cut for the workpiece material.
