It measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 0.625-inch length of cut, a 0.5-inch shank diameter, and a 2.5-inch overall length. The tool features a 45-degree helix angle and an AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride) finish that supports elevated cutting temperatures and extends tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. Built from micrograin carbide, this end mill is suited for finish and semi-finish milling passes where dimensional accuracy and surface quality are critical. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is well suited for slot milling, profiling, and contouring in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar hard materials. The centercutting geometry allows it to plunge directly into a workpiece, making it a practical choice for pocketing operations without a pre-drilled entry point. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional and climb milling on vertical machining centers. It is a single-end tool, so the full flute length and cutting edge geometry are optimized for one working end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-flute design increases feed rates and improves surface finish compared to 4-flute geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating supports high cutting temperatures and reduces tool wear in ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use end mill for CNC vertical machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5-inch straight shank collet or end mill holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.5-inch shank diameter and torque the retention nut to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tool change to confirm proper seating before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.256 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 12177422\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731099222322,"sku":"12177422","price":97.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24f15236c032d27732ed6c95917d988d.jpg?v=1788726938","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177422-square-end-mill-1-2-in-6-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
