Accupro 14883918 Ball End Mill 0.01 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14883918 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in tight geometries and fine-detail work. With a 0.01-inch mill diameter and three-flute configuration, this end mill delivers smooth surface finishes and efficient chip evacuation in challenging small-scale cuts. The micrograin carbide substrate provides hardness and edge retention suited to ferrous and non-ferrous materials alike. Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flutes make it compatible with conventional CNC milling setups. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.015-inch length of cut, this tool is precision-ground for close-tolerance applications where dimensional accuracy is critical.

This miniature end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills for micro-detail milling, engraving, die work, and mold finishing. The extended reach design, with a 0.15-inch neck length, allows access to recessed features without excessive tool deflection. Typical applications include precision component manufacturing, tool and die shops, aerospace part machining, and medical device fabrication where fine geometry and surface finish tolerances are tight. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets commonly found in both full-size and compact milling setups.

Key Features

• 0.01-inch ball end diameter for fine-detail and micro-geometry milling
• Three-flute spiral design for improved chip evacuation and surface finish
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity
• Extended reach with 0.15-inch neck length for recessed feature access
• Bright/uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous and general-purpose applications
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and finish quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill for use in CNC milling machines and manual mills equipped with standard 1/8-inch collets or collet chucks.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a safe, locked-out state. Ensure the collet and collet chuck are clean and free of runout before seating the 1/8-inch shank. At this diameter, tool deflection and runout are critical factors — inspect toolholding concentricity before running. Follow your machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety protocols for high-speed spindle operation with miniature tooling.
