Accupro 72045735 Ball End Mill 1/8 Inch 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 72045735 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding materials. With a 0.1250 inch (1/8 inch) mill diameter and six flutes, it delivers smooth cutting action and efficient chip evacuation. The AlTiN+ coating improves heat resistance and tool life when cutting high-temperature alloys and other hard workpiece materials. A variable helix angle (36 and 40 degrees) combined with variable index geometry reduces chatter and vibration during aggressive cuts. This tool is suited for machinists and tooling professionals working in job shops, aerospace, medical device, and precision manufacturing environments.

This end mill is intended for use on CNC milling machines and machining centers where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required. Its primary workpiece material designation is high-temperature alloy (Material Code S), making it well suited for nickel, cobalt, and titanium-based alloys. The 0.5000 inch length of cut and 2.5000 inch overall length make it appropriate for moderate-depth profiling, slotting, and contouring operations where tool rigidity is critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN+ coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• Six-flute design promotes higher feed rates and improved surface finish
• Variable helix (36 and 40 degrees) and variable index reduce harmonic vibration
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry and ramping operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helical flutes for standard CNC milling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for CNC machining applications requiring a 1/8 inch diameter, single-end, straight-shank tool with AlTiN+ coating for high-temperature alloy workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle and tool holder are clean and within tolerance before seating the straight shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping to maintain cutting accuracy and tool life. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting tool offsets and spindle speeds.
