Accupro 14797440 Ball End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14797440 is a miniature ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in tight geometries and small-feature work. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this single-end tool measures 0.0625 inches in diameter with a 1.5-inch overall length and a 0.1860-inch length of cut. The 1/8-inch shank and 30-degree right-hand spiral helix support chip evacuation and cutting stability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a bright, uncoated finish, the 14797440 is suited for applications where coating buildup would affect dimensional accuracy. Machinists and CNC operators working on dies, molds, and fine detail features are the primary users of this tool.

This miniature ball end mill fits CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with 1/8-inch collets or tool holders. Its compact diameter and extended-reach design make it well suited for profiling, contouring, and slotting operations in deep pockets or narrow cavities. The 0.5900-inch neck length provides clearance when working in recessed features without sacrificing rigidity. This tool is appropriate for prototype machining, mold and die work, and precision component manufacturing in job shop and production environments alike.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention at small diameters
• Ball end geometry enables profiling, contouring, and 3D surface milling
• 30-degree right-hand spiral helix promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Extended reach with a 0.5900-inch neck length for deep-pocket and recessed-feature access
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains tight tolerances in applications sensitive to coating thickness
• Single-end design with right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC and manual mill setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill for use in 1/8-inch collets or tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with CNC tooling and collet-based tool holding systems. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8-inch shank fully into the collet to the minimum grip depth recommended by the tool holder manufacturer to prevent runout or pullout during operation. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout at small diameters can cause premature tool breakage.
