Accupro 2500208 Ball End Mill 1/8 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 2500208 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool measures 0.125 inches in diameter with a 0.5-inch length of cut and a 1.5-inch overall length. A TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in abrasive materials. The 35-degree right-hand spiral helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This ball end mill is suited for 3-axis and multi-axis CNC milling centers as well as manual milling machines where fine detail work, contour milling, or slotting in tight geometries is required. The 0.125-inch diameter makes it a practical choice for small-feature work, die and mold cavities, and finishing passes on complex profiles. It is appropriate for both job shop and production environments where consistent tolerances are critical.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in abrasive and hardened materials
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation with rigidity at small diameters
• 35-degree right-hand spiral helix promotes clean chip flow and smooth cutting
• Single-end configuration with 0.5-inch length of cut and 1.5-inch overall length
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fitment and accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank ball end mill with a 0.125-inch shank diameter, compatible with collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders sized for 1/8-inch shank tooling on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, powered-down state before loading or unloading the tool. Verify collet or holder bore size matches the 0.125-inch shank diameter before clamping. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool to maintain diameter tolerance integrity.
