Accupro 41342205 Ball End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 41342205 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of materials. With a 0.5000 inch mill diameter, a 0.4270 inch length of cut, and four flutes with a variable index design, this end mill delivers consistent chip evacuation and reduced chatter during aggressive cutting passes. The AlTiCrN coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. Intended for use by machinists and CNC tooling professionals, this single-end tool is built for tight-tolerance profiling, slotting, and contouring work.

This ball end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills performing finish and semi-finish milling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials. The 0.5000 inch shank diameter provides a secure hold in standard end mill holders and collet chucks. With a 3 inch overall length and a 0.1870 inch neck length, it accommodates moderate reach applications without sacrificing rigidity. The variable index flute spacing helps reduce harmonic vibration during extended cuts.

Key Features

• 0.5000 inch mill diameter with a true ball-nose profile for 3D contouring and profiling
• AlTiCrN coating for high-heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• 4-flute variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• 0.4270 inch length of cut suits shallow to moderate pocket depths
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Single-end design with 0.5000 inch shank for use in standard toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/2 inch shank end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an e-stop or powered-down state before changing tooling. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.5000 inch shank diameter and torque the retention system per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use and do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for the length of cut rating.
