With a 0.25 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, this tool handles contouring, profiling, and finishing operations on hardened and abrasive materials. The AlTiN+ coating provides high-temperature resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge, extending tool life in demanding cuts. Three medium flutes deliver a balance of chip clearance and cutting edge strength. A cylindrical shank measures 0.25 inches in diameter for secure tool-holder engagement. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this end mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball end mill is suited for use on CNC machining centers and manual mills handling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardened steels, and cast iron. It is a strong fit for die and mold work, contour milling, and complex 3D surface finishing where a consistent ball-nose radius is required. The 4 inch overall length provides adequate reach for most standard cavity and profiling work without excessive overhang. No extended reach version, so setups should plan for direct chuck or collet holding with minimal stick-out to reduce vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in high-speed applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN+ coating enhances heat resistance and tool life on hardened and abrasive workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute medium flute geometry balances chip evacuation with edge strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25 inch cutting diameter with 1 inch length of cut for precise profiling and contouring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCylindrical shank at 0.25 inches diameter for standard ER collet or end mill holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 inch overall length suits most standard machining center setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill suitable for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.25 inch cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe lockout state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and tighten to the tool-holder manufacturer's specified torque procedure. Minimize tool stick-out to reduce vibration and deflection, which is critical with small-diameter carbide end mills to prevent breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cylindrical\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches L x 0.26 inches W x 0.26 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 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: 14788668\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736141463858,"sku":"14788668","price":77.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ce05784c89565ddfda67dd772305f132.jpg?v=1788776128","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-14788668-ball-end-mill-0-25-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
