It carries a 1-degree taper per side with a 3\/16-inch small end diameter and a 3\/4-inch length of cut, making it well suited for tight-tolerance work where consistent taper geometry is critical. The three-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining surface finish quality. The uncoated micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance without the dimensional variation introduced by coatings, which can matter when holding tight tolerances on tapered profiles. Machinists and toolroom operators working on molds, dies, and precision fixtures are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for use on vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where tapered wall profiles or draft angles are required. The 1\/4-inch shank fits standard ER and collet chuck toolholders commonly found in production and job-shop environments. At 2-1\/2 inches overall length, it provides adequate reach for moderate-depth cavity work without sacrificing rigidity. Its centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece when the machining strategy requires it, reducing the need for pre-drilled pilot holes in certain applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-degree taper per side for consistent draft-angle milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design permits direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy on close-tolerance tapered profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare end geometry suitable for floor and wall finishing in tapered cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or stock tapered end mill for CNC and manual milling applications requiring a 1\/4-inch shank and 1-degree-per-side taper geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Use a calibrated torque wrench when tightening collet nuts to avoid over-clamping the shank. Verify runout at the cutting end with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts to confirm proper seating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (0.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Angle Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 degree\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: 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: 12177457\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743275548978,"sku":"12177457","price":90.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0345d5b008f9a15d9d49a0953f789a9e.jpg?v=1788844906","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177457-tapered-end-mill-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
