Accupro 14883916 Ball End Mill 0.01 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14883916 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of tight-tolerance features, contoured surfaces, and small-radius profiles. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for hardened materials and fine-detail work. It carries an AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions. With a 0.01 inch cutting diameter and a 0.015 inch length of cut, the 14883916 is purpose-built for micro-milling applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. A licensed machinist or CNC tooling specialist is the typical end user for this class of tooling.

This end mill is suited for die and mold work, medical component machining, aerospace detail parts, and any application requiring fine contour milling in a CNC machining center or high-speed spindle setup. The extended reach configuration and miniature series designation make it appropriate for deep-pocket or narrow-channel features that standard short-reach tools cannot access. It operates as a single-end tool with right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for superior hardness and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and hardened materials
• 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation and surface finish in micro-milling applications
• Extended reach design allows access to deep pockets and narrow features
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces vibration
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles accepting a 0.125 inch (1/8 inch) straight shank. Suitable for milling ferrous metals, hardened steels, and similar materials where AlTiN coating performance is optimized.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the spindle and toolholder are clean and free of runout before seating the 0.125 inch shank. At this diameter class, even minimal runout will exceed the tool tolerance and cause premature breakage. Verify collet or chuck torque specifications per the toolholder manufacturer before engaging the cut.
