Accupro 14788650 Ball End Mill 0.375 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788650 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.375-inch mill diameter and a 0.625-inch length of cut, this tool handles profiling, contouring, and finishing passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The three-flute geometry with a medium flute type balances chip evacuation and rigidity, making it suitable for high-speed finishing and light roughing. The AlTiN+ coating adds thermal resistance and hardness, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. A licensed machinist or CNC tooling technician is the typical end user.

This ball end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual milling machines where a 3/8-inch shank is standard. The cylindrical shank fits ER collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments. Applications include 3D contour milling, radius profiling, die and mold work, and blending operations on steel, stainless, aluminum, and similar materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior rigidity and wear resistance compared to HSS tooling
• AlTiN+ coating provides high heat resistance and extends tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 3-flute design with medium flute type balances material removal rate and surface finish quality
• 0.375-inch diameter with matching 0.375-inch cylindrical shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting
• 0.625-inch length of cut supports profiling and contouring at controlled axial depths
• 2-inch overall length suits standard reach requirements without sacrificing stiffness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard production ball end mill compatible with any milling setup accepting a 3/8-inch cylindrical shank, including ER collet systems and standard end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Torque collet nuts or set screws to the tool holder specification provided by the holder manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish on carbide end mills.
