Accupro 14797479 Ball End Mill 1/16 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14797479 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of small features, slots, and contoured surfaces in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 0.0625 inches in diameter with a 0.3120-inch length of cut and a 2.5-inch overall length. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while reducing cutting forces. An AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extends tool life in high-speed cutting applications. This tool is suited for machinists and toolroom operators running CNC mills or machining centers where tight tolerances and fine finishes are required in confined or detailed workspaces.

This end mill is sized for miniature milling work, including fine profiling, slotting, and 3D contouring on small parts. Its 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders commonly used on CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles. The single-end configuration and right-hand cutting and flute direction make it a straightforward drop-in for conventional miniature milling setups. It is appropriate for production and prototype work where dimensional accuracy on small features is critical.

Key Features

• 0.0625-inch ball end diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000/-0.0010 inches for precise feature control
• Solid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in high-speed applications
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting pressure on small workpieces
• 3-flute spiral geometry balances chip clearance with surface finish quality
• Single-end design with a 1/8-inch shank for compatibility with standard miniature collet systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and high-speed milling spindles accepting a 1/8-inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the 1/8-inch shank fully in a matched collet or tool holder and verify runout before cutting. Power down and de-energize the spindle before tool changes. Avoid side-loading forces that exceed the tool's rated depth of cut, as small-diameter carbide end mills are susceptible to breakage under lateral shock.
