Accupro 14797408 Ball End Mill 0.035 in 2 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14797408 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for high-precision milling of tight-tolerance features in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It carries a 0.035-inch cutting diameter, a 0.053-inch length of cut (LOC), and a 30-degree helix angle that promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces at small diameters. The AlTiN coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance, extending tool life in demanding dry or near-dry machining conditions. This is a single-end, two-flute design ground from micrograin carbide stock for edge sharpness and rigidity at micro-scale dimensions. Machinists and toolroom operators working in CNC machining centers will find this tool appropriate for profiling, contouring, and slotting at small scales.

This end mill is suited for precision work in die and mold machining, medical component manufacturing, aerospace detail parts, and electronics tooling where small-radius ball-nose profiles are required. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks and compatible toolholders commonly found in vertical machining centers and high-speed spindles. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling operations. This tool is intended for professional machinists and toolroom technicians operating CNC equipment.

Key Features

• 0.035-inch ball nose cutting diameter for micro-scale profiling and contouring
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and sharp edge retention at small diameters
• AlTiN coating for thermal resistance and extended tool life in dry or semi-dry cuts
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting pressure
• Single-end, two-flute geometry balances chip clearance and cutting stability
• Miniature series designed for tight-tolerance features in precision components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill fitting 1/8-inch shank toolholders and ER collet systems standard in CNC vertical machining centers and high-speed spindles.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is placed in an e-stop or lockout state before loading or unloading tooling. Seat the shank fully in a clean, undamaged collet or toolholder and torque the retention nut to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. At this diameter, runout control is critical - verify TIR at the cutting edge before engaging the workpiece to prevent premature tool breakage.
