Accupro 14883939 Ball End Mill 0.1in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14883939 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in tight geometries and contoured surfaces. Built from micrograin carbide, this single-end tool features a 0.1-inch mill diameter, three flutes, and a 30-degree helix angle that promotes smooth chip evacuation and efficient cutting action. The ball nose profile is suited for 3D profiling, slotting, and finish passes in hard and abrasive workpiece materials. With an extended reach design and a 0.8-inch neck length, the tool accesses recessed features without requiring a longer overall assembly. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in precision job shops, mold making, and prototype machining will find this tool appropriate for their applications.

This ball end mill fits standard CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with a 1/8-inch collet or toolholder. The miniature series designation indicates suitability for micro-milling operations where fine detail and tight tolerances are required. The right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute spiral are consistent with conventional CNC spindle rotation. Extended reach geometry allows the tool to work in deep cavities or stepped features where a standard-length end mill would not clear the workpiece.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance in hard materials
• Three-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation and surface finish quality
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting force and chip flow
• Extended reach with 0.8-inch neck length for deep-cavity access
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in a variety of materials
• Ball nose profile supports 3D contouring and profiling passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill compatible with 1/8-inch collet toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual mills configured for right-hand cutting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or collet is de-energized before inserting or removing the tool. Confirm the 1/8-inch shank seats fully and evenly in the collet to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Adhere to the machine manufacturer's speed and feed guidelines for carbide tooling at this diameter to avoid tool breakage.
