Accupro 14881955 Ball End Mill 1/8 in 3 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14881955 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in demanding machining environments. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), this tool delivers high hardness and heat resistance at elevated cutting speeds. The ball nose profile generates contoured and profiled surfaces in a single pass. At 1/8 inch diameter with a 3/16 inch length of cut and a 30-degree right-hand helix, it is engineered for small-feature detail work, mold cavities, and tight-tolerance profiles. The extended reach design and 1.0 inch neck length allow access to recessed features without interference.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers performing finish and semi-finish passes on hardened steels, stainless alloys, titanium, and high-temp alloys where AlTiN coating provides the most benefit. The miniature series designation places it in precision tooling applications common to mold and die shops, aerospace component machining, and medical device manufacturing. Its 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality, making it a practical choice for both slotting and profiling in small-bore or narrow-pocket features.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for high rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN coating provides oxidation resistance and extended tool life at high cutting temperatures
• 3-flute right-hand spiral geometry balances material removal rate with finish quality
• 30-degree helix angle improves chip flow and reduces cutting forces in contour milling
• Extended reach with 1.0 inch neck length allows access to deep or recessed features
• Ball nose profile enables 3D contouring, profiling, and curved surface generation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature series ball end mill compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills using 1/8 inch collet or end mill holder tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine in an e-stop or locked-out state. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamped to the shank diameter tolerance specification in an appropriate collet or shrink-fit holder to prevent runout. Consult the machine tool builder guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures before setting feeds, speeds, and depths of cut. Do not exceed the listed length of cut when engaging the full cutting diameter.
