Accupro 95168499 Ball End Mill 1/4 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168499 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built with a 1/4 inch cutting diameter and a 3/4 inch length of cut, this single-end tool features three right-hand spiral flutes with a 35-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance suited to demanding CNC machining environments. It ships with a bright, uncoated finish, making it appropriate for applications where coating is not required or where tool re-coating is planned after initial wear.

This end mill is used in vertical machining centers and CNC mills for 3D contouring, profiling, and finishing passes in mold-making, die work, and general precision machining. The ball nose geometry generates smooth curved surfaces and is commonly applied in industries requiring tight-tolerance contoured features. With a 2-1/2 inch overall length and 1/4 inch shank diameter, it fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders used in typical shop setups. No extended reach configuration is present on this part.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch ball nose diameter with mill diameter tolerance of +0.000/-0.002 inches for consistent cut sizing
• 3 right-hand spiral flutes with 35-degree helix angle for effective chip removal
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for re-coating or direct use in compatible materials
• Single-end design with 2-1/2 inch overall length and 1/4 inch shank diameter
• Right-hand cutting direction, no chipbreaker, no variable helix

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/4 inch shank end mill holder or collet chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the spindle fully powered down and locked out before tool changes. Confirm collet or holder bore size matches the 1/4 inch shank diameter and that the shank is fully seated to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Inspect the holder and collet for runout before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates carbide wear. Follow shop-specific feeds and speeds tables for carbide ball end mills at the intended material and depth of cut.
