Accupro 12177479 Tapered End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177479 is a solid carbide tapered end mill designed for precision milling operations requiring a controlled taper angle. Built with a 2-degree taper per side and a small end diameter of 5/64 inches, this tool is suited for profiling, slotting, and finishing passes in tight geometries. The 3-flute, right-hand spiral configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining a smooth surface finish. With a micrograin carbide construction and uncoated finish, the 12177479 is a dependable choice for machinists working in general-purpose and precision CNC applications.

This tapered end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling operations where draft angles, mold cavities, or tapered wall features are required. The 1/2-inch length of cut and 1/8-inch shank diameter make it appropriate for work in confined pockets and detailed contour milling. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry. Machinists in job shops, tool-and-die operations, and production milling environments will find this tool effective for both roughing and finishing tapered profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 2-degree taper per side for consistent draft angle control
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• 3-flute right-hand spiral design for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• 30-degree helix angle for smooth cutting action
• Uncoated finish suitable for a range of general-purpose materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard tapered end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8-inch diameter shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool-holding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before mounting. Confirm shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines for tool change procedures.
