Accupro EM96092401 Ball End Mill 0.024 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO EM96092401 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles in a variety of metalworking applications. With a 0.024-inch cutting diameter and a 0.04-inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work where accuracy and edge integrity are critical. The micrograin carbide substrate delivers superior hardness and wear resistance. A TiAlN coating adds thermal resistance, making the tool effective in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions at elevated speeds. This is a single-end tool with a right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle.

This end mill is suited for machining ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardened steels, and cast alloys in CNC milling operations. Its 0.024-inch diameter makes it appropriate for micro-machining, fine finishing passes, and detailed cavity work where larger tooling cannot reach. The 1/8-inch shank fits standard collets and tool holders commonly found on vertical machining centers and high-speed spindle setups. Typical users include machinists and toolmakers working in precision manufacturing, die and mold work, and aerospace component production.

Key Features

• 0.024-inch ball nose diameter for micro-scale and fine-detail milling
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating provides thermal protection for dry and high-speed cutting
• 30-degree helix angle with right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• 2-flute design balances chip clearance with cutting edge strength at small diameters
• Single-end configuration with 1/8-inch shank diameter for standard collet compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard micro ball end mill with a 1/8-inch shank diameter, compatible with CNC milling machines and machining centers equipped with ER or similar collet systems accepting 1/8-inch tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before mounting or removing the tool. Use a properly sized collet and torque the collet nut to the tool holder manufacturer specification. At this diameter, tool runout is critical — verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to avoid premature tool breakage.
