It measures 0.188 inches in diameter with a 0.375-inch length of cut and a 2-inch overall length. The tool carries an AlTiN+ coating, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions. The cylindrical shank matches the 0.188-inch diameter, making it straightforward to chuck in standard end mill holders or collet systems. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this end mill for profiling, contouring, and 3D surfacing operations on CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for medium-duty slotting, profiling, and finishing cuts on a CNC vertical or horizontal machining center. The ball nose geometry makes it particularly effective for contoured surfaces, die cavities, and ramp milling operations where a radius tip is required. The medium flute type balances chip evacuation and surface finish. It is appropriate for use in job shops, production machining environments, and tool rooms handling ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces that require tight tolerance finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.188-inch (3\/16 inch) mill diameter with matching 0.188-inch cylindrical shank for direct chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN+ coating provides elevated heat resistance and improved wear life in high-speed machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute, medium flute design balances chip clearance with surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.375-inch length of cut accommodates shallow-to-medium depth profiling and contouring passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch overall length suits standard toolholder reach without excessive overhang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and dimensional stability in demanding cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 3\/16-inch shank end mill holders and collet chucks used on CNC machining centers requiring a ball nose end mill with a cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician using a calibrated torque wrench and appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.188-inch shank diameter. Confirm the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Inspect the shank and collet bore for chips or contamination before seating the tool. Do not exceed the recommended axial and radial depth of cut for the workpiece material and coating type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN+\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14788648\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729058201906,"sku":"14788648","price":34.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/390be4c16f4af9caab9f0a0226a19e27.jpg?v=1788699377","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-14788648-ball-end-mill-0-188-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
