Accupro 14881952 Ball End Mill 1/8 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14881952 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of complex contours, curved surfaces, and 3D profiles in metalworking applications. With a 0.125 inch mill diameter, 3-flute geometry, and an AlTiN coating, this tool delivers strong heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless steels, and high-temperature alloys. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. At 4 inches overall length with a 3/16 inch length of cut, it is engineered for extended-reach work in tight cavities and deep-pocket operations where standard-length tools cannot reach.

This miniature series ball end mill is suited for die and mold work, aerospace component machining, and precision part production where fine detail and tight tolerances are required. The single-end, right-hand cutting configuration is standard for CNC machining centers and manual milling setups alike. The extended reach neck design allows access to recessed features without sacrificing rigidity at this diameter. It is typically run by machinists and CNC programmers in job shop, tool room, and production environments handling difficult-to-machine materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and hardened materials
• 3-flute spiral design balances chip evacuation with core strength at 0.125 inch diameter
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth cutting action and reduced chatter
• Extended reach design with 2.25 mm neck length for deep-cavity and recessed-feature access
• Single-end ball geometry for 3D contouring, profiling, and radius floor finishing

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter, this miniature series end mill is compatible with standard collet chucks and ER collet systems sized for 0.125 inch shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Verify collet runout is within acceptable tolerance for the programmed feed and speed parameters, as runout at small diameters accelerates tool wear. Do not exceed the rated length of cut when side milling, and confirm workholding rigidity before running deep-reach operations.
