Accupro 14788598 Ball End Mill 0.25 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788598 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and composite materials. With a 0.25 inch mill diameter and a 0.375 inch length of cut, this two-flute tool delivers clean ball-nose profiles in finish milling, contouring, and profiling applications. The AlTiN+ coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in high-speed cutting environments. The cylindrical shank measures 0.25 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 2.5 inches. Medium flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation at moderate feed rates.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines running ferrous metals, hardened steels, stainless, and similar materials where a ball-nose profile is required. The two-flute configuration makes it a practical choice for slotting, pocketing, and 3D surface work where chip clearance is a priority. It ships individually and is appropriate for toolroom, production, and maintenance machining operations.

Key Features

• 0.25 inch mill diameter with matching 0.25 inch cylindrical shank for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility
• AlTiN+ coating for improved heat and wear resistance in ferrous and high-hardness materials
• 0.375 inch length of cut suited for shallow-to-medium depth profiling passes
• Two-flute medium flute geometry supports chip clearance in slotting and pocketing
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability
• 2.5 inch overall length fits standard short-reach tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill replacement compatible with standard 0.25 inch collets, shrink-fit holders, and end mill holders on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the holder and torque the set screw or collet nut per the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before commencing a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
