The 1\/2 inch diameter cutting head and 1-1\/4 inch length of cut allow for profiling, contouring, and 3D surface work in milling machines and machining centers. A 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating adds surface hardness and thermal resistance, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. This single-end tool is ground from micrograin solid carbide stock for dimensional consistency and edge retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill suits CNC machining centers and manual knee mills used in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments. It is well suited for finishing passes on contoured surfaces, die and mold work, and slotting or profiling cuts where a ball nose geometry is required. The right-hand spiral flute configuration and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard spindle setups. Machinists and CNC operators in metalworking, mold making, and precision fabrication are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch diameter ball nose geometry for contour milling and 3D surface finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZrN coating for improved tool life and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute, single-end design with right-hand cut and right-hand spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches for consistent fitment and repeatability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for 1\/2 inch collet or end mill holder setups on CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring a ball nose carbide end mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the shank fully within a collet, end mill holder, or shrink-fit holder rated for 1\/2 inch shank tooling before beginning any operation. Verify spindle runout and tool projection before cutting. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches (3.0000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ZrN (Zirconium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\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 Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: 313668\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732764983602,"sku":"313668","price":147.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f4a62ac3b859e1d84c43426d2dc0a17a.jpg?v=1788746504","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-313668-ball-end-mill-1-2-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
