Accupro 32617813 Ball End Mill 5/32 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 32617813 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 5/32 inch (0.1563 inch) mill diameter, a 4-flute solid carbide construction, and an AlTiCrN coating for heat and wear resistance at elevated cutting speeds. The 2 inch overall length and 0.1330 inch length of cut make this tool suited for tight-tolerance profiling and contouring work. Solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and dimensional stability compared to high-speed steel alternatives. The variable index geometry helps reduce chatter during high-speed passes.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines for finishing passes, 3D contouring, and slot milling in die, mold, and precision component applications. The 3/16 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and straight-bore collet chucks commonly used in shop environments. The AlTiCrN coating supports dry or minimal-coolant cutting strategies in hardened steels and stainless applications. This tool is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in production or job-shop settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide body for maximum rigidity and tool life
• AlTiCrN coating for heat resistance and extended wear performance in hard materials
• 4-flute design for improved surface finish on finishing passes
• Variable index flute spacing reduces vibration and chatter
• Single-end configuration with 0.7500 inch neck length for reach into shallow cavities
• 0.1330 inch length of cut suited for precision profiling work

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter via ER collet, straight-bore chuck, or equivalent toolholding system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing tooling. Verify collet size matches the 3/16 inch shank before tightening to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for damage before each use; do not run a chipped or cracked carbide tool.
