Accupro 36062198 Ball End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 36062198 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. With a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) cutting diameter and a 0.0570 inch length of cut, this tool is built for detail work in hardened and abrasive materials. The AlTiCrN coating extends tool life by resisting heat and wear at elevated cutting speeds. The single-end, 2-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation in slotting and profiling operations. Machinists and tooling specialists working on CNC mills will find this end mill suitable for finishing passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials alike.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter precision cutting is required. The 1/8 inch shank diameter allows it to seat securely in standard collet chucks and tool holders sized for small-diameter tooling. With a 1-1/2 inch overall length and a 0.0780 inch neck length, it is suited for shallow-cavity milling, micro-slot operations, and contour work in die and mold applications as well as small component manufacturing. It is a single-end tool, so it is replaced rather than reindexed when the cutting edge is worn.

Key Features

• AlTiCrN coating provides heat and oxidation resistance for extended tool life in hardened materials
• Solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and edge retention superior to high-speed steel tooling
• 2-flute ball nose geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in slotting and profiling cuts
• 0.0570 inch length of cut and 0.0780 inch neck length suit shallow-cavity and micro-detail work
• 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard small-diameter collet chucks and tool holders
• Single-end design simplifies tool management and replacement tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement solid carbide ball end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with collet chucks or tool holders accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Use the correct collet size and torque the retention nut per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, as runout is especially critical at small diameters like 1/16 inch where even minor misalignment accelerates edge wear.
