Accupro 12177400 Square End Mill 0.125 in 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177400 is a 6-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. With a 0.125-inch mill diameter and a 45-degree helix angle, this end mill delivers efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces in finishing and semi-finishing operations. The AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless, and other abrasive materials. Micrograin carbide construction adds toughness and wear resistance at the cutting edge. The centercutting geometry allows plunge milling as well as conventional side milling. This tool is sized and configured for CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and fine finishes are required.

This end mill is suited for precision milling operations in job shops, tooling rooms, and production machining environments. The 0.125-inch diameter and 0.25-inch length of cut make it appropriate for slotting, profiling, and pocketing in small-feature work. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional CNC mill spindle rotation. Applications include ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a high-flute-count tool is preferred for improved surface finish and feed rate capability.

Key Features

• 6-flute configuration for improved surface finish and higher feed rates compared to standard 4-flute end mills
• AlTiN coating for heat and wear resistance in abrasive and hardened materials
• 45-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and effective chip evacuation
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fitment in tight-tolerance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank end mill compatible with 0.125-inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the controller in a safe state. Verify collet and tool holder bore size matches the 0.125-inch shank before seating. Inspect the collet for wear or contamination that could affect runout and shorten tool life. Torque tool holders to machine or tooling manufacturer specifications using appropriate tooling hardware.
