Accupro 14556485 Ball End Mill 0.5 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14556485 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from micrograin carbide stock, it features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter and a 2.0-inch length of cut, making it well suited for deep-cavity profiling and 3D contouring. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. An AlTiN+ coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in demanding cuts. This is a single-end, right-hand cut tool with right-hand flute direction. Machinists and toolroom professionals working with CNC machining centers install and use this tool type routinely.

This ball end mill is intended for milling applications where a full-radius tip profile is required, such as 3D contouring, profiling, and finishing passes in mold and die work, aerospace components, and general precision machining. The long-length designation and 2.0-inch length of cut allow reach into deeper pockets and cavities that standard-length end mills cannot access. The 0.5-inch shank diameter fits standard ER, shrink-fit, or side-lock toolholders commonly found in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN+ coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• 2.0-inch length of cut for deep-cavity and long-reach milling applications
• 4-flute spiral configuration balances material removal rate with finish quality
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; single-end design

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank replacement ball end mill compatible with 0.5-inch bore toolholders, including ER collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and side-lock holders used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify toolholder bore cleanliness and proper seating depth before tightening to the toolholder manufacturer torque specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use; do not run a damaged end mill.
