It carries an AlTiN+ coating, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions at elevated speeds. The 0.5 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 2 inch length of cut, making it well suited for moderate-depth pocketing and profiling operations. The cylindrical shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter and the overall tool length is 4 inches. This end mill is installed and used by machinists in CNC milling centers across job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers where ball-nose geometry is required for sculpted or radiused features. The medium flute type balances chip evacuation with edge strength, making it appropriate for steels, hardened alloys, and non-ferrous materials where a consistent surface finish is the objective. The 2 inch length of cut provides sufficient reach for most mold, die, and general-purpose contouring work without sacrificing rigidity at the 0.5 inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN+ coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance for extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute design balances material removal rate with chip clearance on contoured cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance superior to HSS at elevated cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedium flute type suited for both roughing passes and semi-finish profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCylindrical shank compatible with standard ER collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo chipbreaker geometry keeps the cutting edge clean for smooth surface finishes on finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-shank ball end mill for use in CNC milling machines accepting a 0.5 inch cylindrical shank via ER collet chucks or end mill holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout tolerances. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Verify collet or holder bore size matches the 0.5 inch shank diameter before tightening. Confirm tool projection and stick-out against the programmed depth of cut to avoid deflection or chatter during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\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\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: 0.35 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: 14788657\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745180483890,"sku":"14788657","price":162.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3a2343ba5c4f4f915ebb95688193a3f8.jpg?v=1788863225","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-14788657-ball-end-mill-0-5-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
