Accupro 14788612 Ball End Mill 0.5in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788612 is a 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.5 inch diameter and a 0.625 inch length of cut, this tool delivers controlled material removal in profiling, contouring, and 3D surfacing applications. The AlTiN+ coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting ferrous and hardened materials. The cylindrical shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 2.5 inches. This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators working on vertical and horizontal milling centers in production and tool-and-die environments.

This ball end mill is suited for medium-duty profiling and finishing passes on ferrous alloys, hardened steels, and similar materials where a radiused cutting edge is required. The medium flute geometry supports chip evacuation while maintaining surface finish quality. It is a practical choice for shops running CNC machining centers where consistent tool geometry and coating durability are priorities in high-cycle or high-speed milling routines.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch ball nose diameter for accurate radiused profiles and contoured surfaces
• AlTiN+ coating resists heat buildup and extends tool life in ferrous and hardened material cuts
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability under high feed conditions
• 2-flute, medium flute design promotes chip flow in profiling and finishing applications
• Cylindrical shank compatible with standard ER collet and end mill holder tooling systems
• 0.625 inch length of cut allows access to moderate-depth pockets and contoured features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard 0.5 inch shank ball end mill tooling used in CNC vertical and horizontal milling centers accepting cylindrical shank end mills.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the cylindrical shank in a properly sized collet chuck or end mill holder and verify runout before beginning a cut. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and free of debris prior to tooling changes. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines for tool change procedures and spindle speeds.
