Accupro 14788609 Ball End Mill 0.25 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788609 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and hard materials. With a 0.25 inch mill diameter and a 0.375 inch length of cut, this two-flute end mill is built for contour milling, profiling, and finishing passes where accurate ball-nose geometry is required. The AlTiN+ coating provides enhanced heat resistance and extended tool life when running at elevated cutting speeds. At 2.0 inches overall length and 0.04 pounds, it is a compact, rigid tool suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring tight tolerances.

This end mill is well suited for use in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments handling die and mold work, aerospace components, and general precision machining. The medium flute geometry and cylindrical shank support smooth chip evacuation and stable tool holding in standard end mill collets and chucks. It is a solid choice for both roughing in harder materials and finish passes on complex 3D surfaces.

Key Features

• 0.25 inch mill diameter with matching 0.25 inch cylindrical shank for standard collet compatibility
• 0.375 inch length of cut optimized for controlled depth engagement
• 2.0 inch overall length provides rigidity while maintaining reach for typical cavity work
• AlTiN+ coating delivers high heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials
• 2-flute configuration supports efficient chip evacuation in slotting and profiling applications
• Medium flute type balances cutting performance and surface finish quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill compatible with standard 0.25 inch end mill collets, ER collet chucks, and side-lock holders used on CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before inserting or removing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or chuck to the recommended gauge length and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for maximum spindle speed and feed rate for the selected material.
