Accupro 95171383 Ball End Mill 5mm 3 Flute Zrn Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95171383 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composite, and engineered materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with zirconium nitride (ZrN), it delivers extended tool life and resistance to heat buildup in demanding cutting environments. The 5.00 mm diameter cutting head features three right-hand spiral flutes with a 37-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This end mill is a standard choice for machinists and CNC programmers running finishing and semi-finishing passes on contoured surfaces.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines across job shops, tool rooms, and production floors. The ball nose geometry makes it well matched for 3D profiling, pocket contouring, and curved surface work. The 16.00 mm length of cut provides adequate reach for most shallow-to-medium-depth profiling passes without sacrificing rigidity. The 6.00 mm shank diameter fits standard collet and end mill holder systems commonly found in both vertical and horizontal machining setups.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• ZrN coating reduces friction and extends tool life compared to uncoated carbide
• 37-degree right-hand helix promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Three-flute design balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• Ball nose geometry optimized for 3D contouring, slotting curved profiles, and ramp milling
• Single-end configuration with no chipbreaker for consistent finish on profiling passes

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 6.00 mm shank diameter. Suitable for CNC and manual milling applications in a wide range of shop environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling setup procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Confirm shank engagement depth meets the minimum grip length recommended for the holder style in use. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety protocols when setting tool offsets and running first-article cuts.
