Accupro 95168533 Ball End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168533 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contouring, profiling, and 3D machining operations in a wide range of materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for demanding milling applications. The 1/2 inch cutting diameter is paired with a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, a 3 inch overall length, and a 1/2 inch shank diameter. The 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. The bright, uncoated finish makes it a versatile choice for general-purpose work where coating is not required. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments.

This end mill is suited for milling operations on machining centers and CNC mills requiring a 1/2 inch shank. The 3-flute geometry balances chip clearance and tool strength, making it effective on aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and softer steels. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional milling setups. The single-end configuration means the tool is used from one end only, which is the industry norm for this diameter class.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 1/2 inch cutting diameter with a 1-1/4 inch length of cut for moderate-depth profiling
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation with cutting edge strength
• 35-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral for standard CNC mill setups
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose and non-ferrous applications
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fitment

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator using a compatible collet chuck or end mill holder rated for the 1/2 inch shank diameter. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool to confirm proper holding. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for torque specifications on the tool holder.
