Accupro 95168541 Ball End Mill 5/8 in 4 Flute Carbide Altin

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168541 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It features a 5/8 inch cutting diameter with a 1-5/8 inch length of cut and a 3-1/2 inch overall length. The four-flute, right-hand spiral geometry paired with an AlTiN coating supports higher cutting speeds and elevated heat resistance compared to uncoated carbide tooling. The variable helix design reduces harmonic vibration during cut, which extends tool life and improves surface finish. This tool is suited for machining operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills alike.

This ball end mill is used in job shop, production, and tool-and-die environments where accurate profile milling is required. The single-end configuration and 5/8 inch shank diameter allow direct mounting in standard end mill holders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit tooling. The AlTiN coating makes this tool well suited for dry or semi-dry cutting in hardened steels, stainless alloys, and high-temperature alloys where thermal load is a concern.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch ball end cutting diameter with 1-5/8 inch length of cut
• Solid carbide construction at material grade C2 for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for high heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 4-flute, right-hand cutting and flute direction for efficient chip evacuation
• Variable helix geometry reduces chatter and vibration during profiling passes
• Single-end design with 5/8 inch shank diameter for standard toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 5/8 inch shank ball end mill applications in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills using ER, CAT, BT, or HSK toolholders sized for a 5/8 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the full recommended grip length in the toolholder and torque the retention hardware to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tooling.
