Accupro 12177353 Corner Radius End Mill 3mm 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177353 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 3 mm mill diameter and a 0.25 mm corner radius, it produces controlled edge breaks and contoured profiles while reducing stress concentrations at workpiece corners. The 2-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during slotting and profiling cuts. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this single-end, center-cutting tool delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for demanding CNC machining environments. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working with vertical or horizontal machining centers.

This end mill is suited for light-duty slotting, profiling, and contour milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a small-diameter, extended-reach tool is required. The 6 mm shank diameter and 57 mm overall length accommodate setups where reach into deep pockets or narrow features is necessary. The extended reach design, with a 15 mm reach length, helps clear workpiece geometry without sacrificing tool rigidity. The bright uncoated finish makes it appropriate for materials where coating interaction with cutting fluids is a concern, or where re-sharpening after wear is anticipated.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance
• 0.25 mm corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress concentration on workpieces
• 2-flute spiral geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in slotting and profiling
• Center-cutting capability allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Extended reach design with 15 mm reach length for deep pocket access
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency with tool stability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6 mm shank end mill for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and tool holders accepting 6 mm round shank tooling.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed by a qualified machinist using a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 6 mm shank diameter. Confirm runout within acceptable limits before initiating cuts, as excessive runout accelerates wear on small-diameter carbide tools. Always power down the spindle and confirm it has come to a full stop before changing tooling. Follow applicable machine shop safety procedures and manufacturer feed-and-speed guidelines for the specific workpiece material.
