It features a 1\/4 inch cutting diameter, a 3\/8 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length with a 1\/4 inch shank. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and hardness for dry or semi-dry cutting in ferrous and hardened materials. Spiral fluting with a 37.5-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces chatter. The micrograin carbide substrate supports edge integrity at elevated cutting speeds. A licensed machinist or CNC toolroom technician installs and runs this tool in a milling machine or machining center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for finish and semi-finish milling passes in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened alloys. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, making it useful in pocketing, slotting, and contouring operations. The extended reach configuration, with a 2-1\/2 inch reach length, gives clearance for deep-pocket work without sacrificing rigidity. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional CNC mill spindle rotation. Its tight shank diameter tolerance of -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches ensures consistent runout in collet-style or shrink-fit holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-flute spiral geometry for higher feed rates and superior finish in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN finish for elevated thermal resistance and extended tool life in dry cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37.5-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry for pocketing operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate maintains edge sharpness under high-speed loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended reach with 2-1\/2 inch reach length for deep-pocket clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard toolroom end mill for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills accepting 1\/4 inch shank tooling in ER collet, shrink-fit, or Weldon-style holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC toolsetter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or spindle is locked before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the recommended gauge-line depth and torque the collet nut or set screw per the holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before committing to a production cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3000 to 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37.5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.102 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12177385\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755008983346,"sku":"12177385","price":134.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bb09879b3e57be086a36aaf96c174b77.jpg?v=1788950463","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177385-square-end-mill-1-4-in-7-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
