Accupro 14788640 Ball End Mill 0.188in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788640 is a 3-flute solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. It carries a 0.188 inch (3/16 inch) mill diameter and a 0.625 inch (5/8 inch) length of cut, with a 2.000 inch overall length. The AlTiN+ coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. The cylindrical shank diameter matches the mill diameter at 0.188 inches. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and toolrooms.

This ball end mill suits contouring, profiling, and slotting operations on ferrous metals, alloy steels, and similar materials where a ball nose geometry is required. The medium flute type balances chip evacuation with edge strength, making it suitable for semi-finishing and finishing passes. No chipbreaker geometry and no extended reach keep the tool rigid for close-tolerance work in vertical machining centers and manual mills alike.

Key Features

• 0.188 inch (3/16 inch) ball nose diameter for precision contouring
• AlTiN+ coating for high-heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• 3-flute, medium flute type for balanced chip evacuation and surface finish
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 0.625 inch length of cut with 2.000 inch overall length for reach control
• Cylindrical shank at 0.188 inches for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard 3/16 inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the cylindrical shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or damage before each use. Follow all machine guarding and lockout/tagout procedures before changing tooling.
