Accupro 14968921 Ball End Mill 0.06 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14968921 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for high-precision milling operations in tight geometries and small-feature work. With a 0.0600-inch cutting diameter and a 0.1800-inch length of cut, this tool is built for detailed profiling, contouring, and slot milling where accuracy and rigidity are critical. The micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This tool is typically installed and used by machinists and toolmakers operating CNC machining centers or manual mills requiring miniature-scale tooling.

This end mill is suited for small-part machining applications in industries such as medical device manufacturing, aerospace, mold making, and electronics. The extended reach neck design, with a 0.5000-inch neck length, allows access to deep pockets or recessed features without interference. The bright uncoated finish makes it well suited for materials where coated tools may cause adhesion or where inspection of cutting edges is required. It runs as a single-end tool with a 1/8-inch shank diameter, compatible with standard collets and end mill holders in that size range.

Key Features

• 0.0600-inch ball cutting diameter with plus 0.0000 / minus 0.0010-inch diameter tolerance for tight dimensional control
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 30-degree right-hand helix with spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• 0.5000-inch neck length provides extended reach into deep or recessed features
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup risk on sensitive or soft materials
• Single-end design with 1/8-inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard miniature toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with collets or end mill holders accepting a 1/8-inch shank diameter. Best suited for miniature-scale milling operations requiring precise ball-end geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth to prevent pullout under cutting loads. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts, as runout is especially critical at this diameter scale.
