Accupro 14788630 Ball End Mill 0.25in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788630 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. With a 0.25 inch cutting diameter and 1 inch length of cut, this 2-flute tool is suited for profiling, contouring, and finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The AlTiN Plus coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life at higher cutting speeds. The cylindrical shank measures 0.25 inches in diameter and the overall length is 4 inches, offering a compact, rigid setup appropriate for CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is intended for use in precision machining applications including mold and die work, aerospace component finishing, and general metalworking. The medium flute geometry and 2-flute configuration support efficient chip evacuation in slotting and peripheral milling operations. Machinists working with hardened steels, stainless alloys, and cast iron will benefit from the AlTiN Plus coating at elevated temperatures. The tool is sold individually and is well-suited for shops requiring consistent OEM-quality carbide tooling at standard diameter increments.

Key Features

• 0.25 inch ball end cutting diameter for fine profile and contour work
• AlTiN Plus coating for high-temperature wear resistance and longer tool life
• 2-flute medium flute type supports chip clearance in slotting and finishing cuts
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and resistance to deflection
• Cylindrical shank with 0.25 inch diameter for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility
• 4 inch overall length with 1 inch length of cut for versatile reach without sacrificing stiffness

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard 0.25 inch collets, shrink-fit holders, and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully within the collet or toolholder to the manufacturer-recommended gauge length before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts. Do not exceed the toolholder's rated clamping diameter and ensure all tool-change procedures are performed with the machine spindle stopped and at a safe tool-change position.
