Accupro 14788680 Ball End Mill 0.078 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788680 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking and machining applications. At 0.078 inches (5/64 inch) in diameter with a 4-flute medium flute design, this tool delivers fine-detail cutting capability in tight geometries and contoured surfaces. The AlTiN+ coating provides high heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless alloys, and other abrasive materials. With a 1.5-inch overall length and a 0.125-inch cylindrical shank, this end mill is sized for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring small-diameter tooling.

This end mill is suited for finish milling, profiling, slotting, and 3D contouring in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The ball nose geometry makes it a practical choice for die and mold work, aerospace component finishing, and precision prototype machining. It is a direct single-piece tool intended for professional machinists and CNC operators working with tight tolerances and fine surface finishes in production or job-shop environments.

Key Features

• 0.078 inch (5/64 inch) ball nose diameter for fine-detail and small-feature milling
• 4-flute medium flute design balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality
• AlTiN+ coating enhances heat resistance and wear life in hardened and abrasive materials
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability at high feed rates
• Cylindrical shank compatible with standard collet and end mill holder systems
• No chipbreaker geometry keeps the cutting profile clean for smooth finish passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and similar machine tool setups that accept a 0.125-inch cylindrical shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Seat the cylindrical shank securely in a collet or end mill holder to the recommended grip length to minimize runout. Verify tool projection and clearance before initiating any cutting cycle.
