Accupro 14788651 Ball End Mill 0.5 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788651 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.5 inch mill diameter and a 0.625 inch length of cut, this three-flute tool delivers controlled chip evacuation and consistent finish quality. The AlTiN+ coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection, making it well suited for high-speed cutting in ferrous and hardened materials. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in production shops, tool rooms, and job shops.

This ball end mill is commonly used for 3D contouring, profiling, and finishing passes on mold and die components, aerospace parts, and precision mechanical components. The medium flute geometry supports a balance between material removal rate and surface finish quality. The cylindrical shank with a 0.5 inch diameter provides secure clamping in standard collet chucks and end mill holders used on vertical machining centers and CNC mills.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch mill diameter with 0.625 inch length of cut for controlled depth engagement
• Three-flute medium flute design balances chip clearance with finish quality
• AlTiN+ coating delivers high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability
• Cylindrical shank at 0.5 inch diameter fits standard collet and end mill holder systems
• No chipbreaker geometry for smooth finishing and contouring passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for use in CNC vertical machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5 inch cylindrical shank end mill holder or collet chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or removing any cutting tool. Verify collet or holder runout with a dial indicator before first use, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and coating type.
