Accupro 12176847 Square End Mill 1/32 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12176847 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and engineering plastics. Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers a 0.0312 inch (1/32 inch) cutting diameter with a 0.125 inch length of cut and a 1/8 inch shank diameter. The overall length is 1.5 inches, keeping the tool compact for tight-tolerance work in small-feature applications. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole. A 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators install this tool in vertical mills and machining centers.

This end mill is suited for small-feature milling tasks such as slotting, profiling, and plunge cutting in precision components. Its 2-flute, right-hand spiral geometry makes it a practical choice for ferrous and non-ferrous materials where chip clearance and surface finish are priorities. The regular-length configuration fits standard tool holders and collets sized for 1/8 inch shanks. It is supplied uncoated, which is appropriate for applications where re-sharpening is expected or where coatings would add unnecessary cost at this diameter range.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge strength at small diameters
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without pilot hole
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flute promotes chip evacuation and smooth finish
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• 2-flute design maximizes chip clearance in slots and pockets
• Uncoated finish suitable for re-sharpening and general-purpose applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard square end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills equipped with collet systems or end mill holders accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC operators. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth, and verify tool runout before cutting. At this diameter, excessive side load or improper feed rates are the primary causes of tool breakage.
