Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers consistent edge integrity and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. The square end geometry provides clean, flat-bottom cuts, while the 2-degree taper per side creates draft angles commonly needed in die, mold, and contour milling work. With a 3-flute spiral configuration and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality. It is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills by machinists and toolroom professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill suits applications in die and mold making, aerospace component machining, and general precision metalworking where tapered wall features are required. The small end diameter of 5\/64 inches and a 1-inch length of cut allow it to reach into tight pockets and contoured surfaces. The 3\/16-inch shank fits standard collet and toolholder systems common to vertical machining centers. Its centercutting capability permits plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole, adding setup flexibility for complex workpiece geometries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-degree taper per side for precise draft angle milling in die and mold applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare end geometry produces flat-bottom cuts and clean shoulder profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle balances chip clearance and finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct toolroom addition for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3\/16-inch shank diameter via standard ER collet or end mill holder systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following established shop safety procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the tool from its holder. Seat the shank fully into the collet or toolholder to the recommended grip depth before tightening to avoid runout and premature tool wear. Verify taper angle programming in the CAM or CNC control matches the 2-degree-per-side geometry before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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: 2 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 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\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: 12177480\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739326742834,"sku":"12177480","price":78.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/09de876eaec4538534a82d5d6891dc1a.jpg?v=1788813169","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177480-tapered-end-mill-solid-carbide-3-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
