The ball nose profile produces contoured surfaces, 3D profiles, and radius features in a single pass. Constructed from micrograin carbide and coated with AlTiCrN, this end mill handles elevated cutting temperatures and abrasive workpiece materials without rapid edge breakdown. The 38-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. At 0.375 inches in diameter with a 0.5-inch length of cut and a 2-inch overall length, it fits standard toolholders and suits a wide range of CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for finish milling, semi-finish milling, and profiling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened alloys. It is commonly used in job shop, die and mold, and production machining environments. The variable index geometry reduces harmonic vibration during deep-pocket and contour work. The straight cylindrical shank accepts ER collets, shrink-fit holders, and hydraulic chucks with a 3\/8-inch bore. Standard-length configuration keeps it compatible with typical workpiece setups where extended reach is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hardened materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiCrN coating extends tool life at high cutting speeds and temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree right-hand helix promotes chip flow and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing minimizes chatter on contoured and deep-pocket cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall nose geometry produces accurate radius features and 3D surface profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with a straight cylindrical shank for broad toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-production ball end mill for CNC machining centers accepting a 3\/8-inch straight cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Ensure the shank is clean and free of chips before clamping to achieve proper runout within the stated diameter tolerance of plus 0.000 inches and minus 0.001 inches. Follow machine manufacturer torque guidelines for the collet nut or holder style in use; do not exceed holder-rated clamping force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (9.53 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (12.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches (50.80 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiCrN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 inches \/ minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 311197\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733352087858,"sku":"311197","price":91.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/292eddc973826a9b7226e970be8789d4.jpg?v=1788754546","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-311197-ball-end-mill-3-8-in-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
