It features a 0.5 degree angle per side and a 1\/16 inch small end diameter, making it well suited for fine detail work, die and mold cavities, and engraving applications. The three-flute, right-hand spiral geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining rigidity. The square end configuration allows for clean floor finishing at the base of tapered walls. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for use in non-ferrous metals, graphite, and other materials where coating adhesion is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines for die and mold work, engraving, and fine contouring where a slight wall draft angle is needed. The 0.5 degree taper per side allows gradual wall draft without sacrificing dimensional control. The 1\/2 inch length of cut and 2-1\/4 inch overall length keep the tool compact and resistant to deflection during light finishing passes. Machinists working in tool rooms, job shops, and prototype environments will find this tool appropriate for tight-tolerance detail work in soft to medium-hardness materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 degree taper angle per side for controlled wall draft in die and mold applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-flute right-hand spiral geometry supports chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare end profile allows clean floor finishing at the base of tapered cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous metals, graphite, and similar materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit tapered end mill for standard 1\/8 inch collet chucks and tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop-standard tooling practices. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the 1\/8 inch shank fully and evenly in a matched collet or end mill holder and secure to the torque specification called out in the machine tool manufacturer documentation. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as even minor runout amplifies deflection at small diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Angle Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches (0.1410 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 12177433\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743592677682,"sku":"12177433","price":50.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2b77b5dd29be3b1f3efc1d6a99dd9514.jpg?v=1788848302","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177433-tapered-end-mill-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
