Accupro 12176606 Carbide End Mill Set 6 Pc 2 Flute

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12176606 is a 6-piece solid carbide double end mill set designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Each end mill features a 2-flute, square end geometry in a stub length configuration, which provides rigidity and reduces deflection during aggressive cuts. The bright, uncoated finish makes this set well-suited for use in non-ferrous metals, plastics, and general-purpose materials where coating is not required. Six diameters are included in a single plastic storage case, making this a practical bench set for machinists who need a range of cutter sizes readily available. The double-end design extends tool life by offering two usable cutting ends per piece.

This end mill set is intended for use on CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and benchtop milling machines in job shop, toolroom, and production environments. The six included diameters cover common milling tasks from slotting and profiling to pocket clearing. The stub length configuration is particularly useful in setups where tool overhang must be minimized to control vibration and maintain tight tolerances. Machinists, toolmakers, and machine operators working with aluminum, brass, plastics, and similar soft-to-medium materials will find this set appropriate for daily use.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for improved wear resistance and edge retention
• Double end design provides two cutting ends per tool, extending usable tool life
• 2-flute, square end geometry for slotting, profiling, and general-purpose milling
• Stub length configuration reduces deflection and improves rigidity in short-reach setups
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and soft alloys
• Six-piece set covers diameters of 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 inch
• Includes a plastic storage case for organized bench storage

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard milling machine collets and end mill holders accepting straight-shank tooling in the included diameters. Suitable for CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with compatible collet systems.

Installation Notes

End mills in this set should be installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician using a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the selected diameter. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation, as excessive runout accelerates wear on carbide tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the selected diameter and workpiece material.
