It features a 0.5-degree taper angle per side and a small end diameter of 1\/8 inch, making it well suited for tight-tolerance work in dies, molds, and contoured surfaces. With 3 spiral flutes, a 30-degree helix angle, and a micrograin carbide substrate, this tool delivers clean cuts and resists wear in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The square end geometry supports flat-bottom profiling and slotting. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry. Installation and use are performed by machinists operating CNC machining centers or manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tapered end mill is used in tool-and-die shops, mold making, aerospace component machining, and general precision machining environments. The 1\/2-inch length of cut and 2-inch overall length make it practical for shallow-to-moderate depth passes in confined features such as draft-angle walls and tapered pockets. The uncoated finish makes it a straightforward choice for shops that re-coat tooling in-house or work with softer workpiece materials where coating is not critical. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cut are standard for conventional CNC spindle rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-degree taper angle per side for consistent draft-angle profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for smooth chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare end geometry supports flat-bottom slots and profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish compatible with in-house coating workflows or non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide tapered end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3\/16-inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall and secure the shank in a collet or end mill holder rated for the 3\/16-inch shank diameter before spindle engagement. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before tool changes. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating to confirm concentricity before cutting. Follow shop-standard feeds and speeds for solid carbide tooling based on workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Angle Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 degrees\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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: Uncoated\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: 12177437\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742892654898,"sku":"12177437","price":51.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a1312bc20a5c93cafd9fe5d49a984baf.jpg?v=1788840311","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177437-tapered-end-mill-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
