Accupro 12176867 Square End Mill 0.5 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12176867 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in milling applications. Built from micrograin carbide, this single-end tool features a 0.5 inch diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 6 inch overall length, placing it in the extra long length category. The 40-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and helps reduce cutting forces. The bright, uncoated finish suits a wide range of general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous milling operations. Licensed machinists and CNC operators rely on this geometry for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling where reach and rigidity both matter.

This end mill is suited for use on CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills in job shop, production, and maintenance-repair-operations environments. The extra long OAL makes it practical for deep-pocket milling and applications where standard-length tools cannot reach the workpiece. The 0.5 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders common in most shop setups. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with conventional spindle rotation on the vast majority of machining equipment.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• 40-degree right-hand spiral helix for efficient chip flow
• Extra long 6 inch OAL for extended reach in deep-pocket work
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of materials
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide square end mill fitting standard 0.5 inch-bore toolholders; no specific machine model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this part.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator following shop safety procedures. Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the minimum insertion depth recommended by the toolholder manufacturer, and verify runout before engaging the cut. Confirm spindle rotation matches the right-hand cutting direction before starting the machine. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and handle carbide tooling carefully to avoid edge chipping during setup.
