Accupro 14881904 Ball End Mill 1/64 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14881904 is a miniature single-end ball end mill designed for precision machining of small features, tight radii, and detailed contours. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN, it handles hard and abrasive materials at elevated cutting speeds. The 1/64 inch (0.0156 inch) cutting diameter and 0.0220 inch length of cut make it suited for fine detail work in molds, dies, and small component machining. The 30 degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. Machinists and tooling shops rely on this end mill for CNC milling operations requiring tight tolerances and consistent edge integrity at small scales.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers for finish milling, profiling, and slotting of small or intricate features. Typical applications include mold and die work, medical device components, aerospace parts, and precision instrument components where a very small ball nose radius is required. The extended reach geometry and 1/8 inch shank diameter allow it to access deeper pockets while maintaining rigidity. It is suited for machining hardened steels, stainless steels, titanium, and other difficult-to-machine alloys.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating provides thermal protection and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance and surface finish quality
• 30 degree right-hand helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Extended reach geometry with 0.1870 inch neck length for deeper pocket access
• Tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000/-0.0010 inch ensures dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC milling machines accepting 1/8 inch shank end mills in the miniature series category.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with CNC tooling and cutting parameters. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cutting operation, as excessive runout will accelerate wear on a tool of this diameter. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for the collet or tool holder used.
