Accupro 14788618 Ball End Mill 0.375 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788618 is a 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and hardened materials. With a 0.375-inch mill diameter and 1.125-inch length of cut, this tool delivers a consistent ball-nose profile suited for contouring, slotting, and profiling passes. The AlTiN+ coating provides elevated heat resistance and surface hardness, extending tool life in high-temperature cutting environments. The 3.0-inch overall length and cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard end mill holders and collet systems. Installation and operation are handled by machinists and CNC programmers in machine shop and manufacturing environments.

This ball end mill is suited for milling operations requiring a ball-nose profile on ferrous alloys, stainless steel, and hardened workpiece materials. The medium flute geometry supports chip evacuation during finish and semi-finish passes. It is typically applied in vertical and horizontal machining centers where tight tolerances on contoured surfaces are required. The 0.375-inch shank diameter allows direct mounting in ER collet chucks or end mill holders of matching bore size.

Key Features

• 0.375-inch ball nose diameter for precise contour and profile milling
• 1.125-inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth slotting and profiling
• AlTiN+ coating delivers superior oxidation resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting temperatures
• 2-flute medium flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in ferrous materials
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability under aggressive cutting conditions
• Cylindrical shank with 0.375-inch diameter fits standard ER collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard ER collet systems and end mill holders accepting a 0.375-inch cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the retention nut to the tool holder specification. Verify runout at the cutting edge with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut.
