Accupro 14788617 Ball End Mill 0.25in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788617 is a 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, pockets, and complex 3D profiles. The ball nose geometry generates smooth finished surfaces in both roughing and finishing passes. At 0.25 inches in diameter with a 1.125-inch length of cut and a 3.0-inch overall length, this end mill fits standard CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with a 0.25-inch collet or tool holder. The AlTiN+ coating provides high heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting ferrous and hardened materials.

This end mill is suited for die and mold work, aerospace components, medical part machining, and general precision work where a ball nose profile is required. The medium flute geometry balances chip evacuation and surface finish across a range of workpiece materials. A cylindrical shank and no chipbreaker geometry make this a straightforward drop-in for standard CNC tooling setups. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC programmers in job shop, production, and toolroom environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• AlTiN+ coating increases heat resistance and extends tool life on ferrous and hardened materials
• 2-flute ball nose geometry supports smooth surface finishing on contoured and 3D profiles
• Medium flute type balances chip flow and finish quality across multiple materials
• Cylindrical shank fits standard collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling
• No chipbreaker design simplifies programming for continuous finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.25-inch cylindrical shank toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an appropriate safe state before changing tooling. Seat the cylindrical shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder and torque to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with an indicator after installation before beginning a cutting program.
