Accupro 14788635 Ball End Mill 0.375 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788635 is a 2-flute ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, complex profiles, and 3D geometry in ferrous and hardened materials. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and heat resistance, while the AlTiN+ coating extends tool life by reducing friction and oxidation at elevated cutting temperatures. With a 0.375-inch mill diameter, a 1.5-inch length of cut, and a 6-inch overall length, this end mill suits deep-reach milling operations where a standard-length tool would not clear the workpiece. It is installed and used by machinists and CNC programmers in job shop, production, and tool-and-die environments.

This ball end mill is suited for CNC machining centers performing die and mold work, finish passes on 3D contoured surfaces, and semi-finish profiling in steels, stainless steels, and high-temperature alloys. The medium flute geometry balances chip evacuation and surface finish. The cylindrical shank fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders with a 0.375-inch bore. The 6-inch overall length provides extended reach for cavities and deep pockets where shorter tooling cannot reach the full depth of cut.

Key Features

• AlTiN+ coating increases heat resistance and tool life in ferrous and hardened workpiece materials
• Solid carbide substrate provides stiffness and dimensional stability under aggressive cutting conditions
• 0.375-inch diameter ball profile for contoured surface milling and 3D finishing passes
• 1.5-inch length of cut allows deep slot and profile milling without tool change
• 6-inch overall length supports extended-reach applications in deep cavities and mold pockets
• Medium flute type balances chip flow and finish quality across a range of feed and speed parameters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills using 0.375-inch bore toolholders with cylindrical shank retention.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an e-stop or lock-out condition before inserting or removing tooling. Seat the cylindrical shank to the full recommended insertion depth in the toolholder before torquing the retention mechanism. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping and before initiating a cutting program to avoid premature tool wear or breakage.
