Accupro 315306 Ball End Mill 5/8 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 315306 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. It features a 0.625 inch diameter cutting profile with a 1.625 inch length of cut and a 3.5 inch overall length. Constructed from micrograin solid carbide and coated with zirconium nitride (ZrN), it delivers hard, wear-resistant cutting performance suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3-flute, right-hand spiral geometry combined with a 37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and contouring applications where a ball nose geometry is required to produce contoured or radiused surfaces. The ZrN coating extends tool life in abrasive materials and reduces built-up edge. The 5/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders common to vertical machining centers and CNC knee mills. It is a solid choice for medium-depth passes in steel, stainless, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials where a single-end carbide tool is appropriate.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating reduces friction and extends tool life
• 37-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 3-flute configuration balances chip clearance and surface finish
• Ball nose geometry for contouring and radiused surface milling
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for 5/8 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on standard vertical machining centers and CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists using a compatible collet chuck or end mill holder sized for a 5/8 inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool in the holder. Follow shop-specific feeds and speeds guidelines and applicable machine safety procedures when setting up carbide end mills.
