Accupro 14797465 Ball End Mill 0.04in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14797465 is a miniature series ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in tight tolerances and small-feature work. Built from solid carbide with a micrograin grade substrate, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for hardened materials and fine detail cuts. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and reduced friction at elevated cutting speeds. With a 0.04 inch diameter, 3 flutes, and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool is engineered for smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finish in demanding applications.

This end mill is suited for die and mold work, medical component machining, aerospace detail parts, and any application requiring small-radius ball-end profiling. The long-length configuration at 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.325 inch length of cut gives machinists reach into deeper pockets and contoured surfaces without sacrificing rigidity at the 0.125 inch shank diameter. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard CNC machining center setups.

Key Features

• 0.04 inch ball end diameter with mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0010 inches for tight fitment
• Solid carbide micrograin substrate resists chipping and maintains edge sharpness in hard materials
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life at aggressive feeds and speeds
• 3-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Long series overall length of 2.5 inches provides extended reach for deep pocket and contour work
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC use

Compatibility

Designed as a miniature series single-end ball end mill compatible with standard 0.125 inch collet systems and CNC machining centers configured for right-hand cutting tools.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the 0.125 inch shank fully within the collet to the recommended engagement depth per collet manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as the tight diameter tolerances on this tool make runout a critical factor in edge life and surface finish quality.
