Accupro 14797372 Ball End Mill 0.01 in 2 Flute Carbide Altin

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14797372 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in tight geometries and fine-detail applications. At 0.01 inches in diameter with a 0.03-inch length of cut, this single-end tool is built for micro-scale work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The micrograin carbide substrate supports edge integrity at small diameters, and the AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials. The 30-degree helix angle and two-flute spiral configuration promote chip evacuation in shallow, confined cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on precision components, molds, and dies will find this tool well suited to finish passes and contour work at micro scales.

This end mill is intended for CNC machining centers and precision manual mills where miniature tooling is required. Typical applications include mold cavity detail work, medical device component machining, aerospace part finishing, and micro-engraving on hardened or coated materials. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems used in high-speed spindles and precision toolholding. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction conform to conventional milling setups.

Key Features

• 0.01-inch ball nose diameter for micro-scale contour and finish milling
• AlTiN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge sharpness at small diameters
• 30-degree helix angle with spiral flutes for improved chip flow
• 1/8-inch shank diameter compatible with standard precision collet systems
• Single-end construction with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and precision mills equipped with standard 1/8-inch collet toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle and collet are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify tool projection and runout with a dial indicator before initiating the cut. At 0.01-inch diameter, even minor runout will significantly affect tool life and surface finish.
