Accupro 12177524 Tapered End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177524 is a solid carbide tapered end mill designed for precision milling operations requiring a controlled taper profile. Built from micrograin carbide and left uncoated for a bright finish, this tool delivers sharp cutting edges and dimensional stability across a range of milling applications. It features a 5-degree taper angle per side, a 1/8 inch small end diameter, and a 1 inch length of cut. The 3-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. It is centercutting, allowing for plunge entry. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this end mill in CNC machining centers and manual mills for contour milling, draft angle creation, and cavity work.

This tapered end mill is suited for precision metalworking in job shops, mold and die operations, and production machining environments. The 5/16 inch shank seats securely in standard collet chucks and end mill holders. The 3 inch overall length provides adequate reach for moderate-depth cavity work while maintaining rigidity. Its uncoated micrograin carbide construction makes it well matched to ferrous and non-ferrous materials where edge sharpness and geometric accuracy are the primary requirements.

Key Features

• 5-degree taper angle per side for precise draft and contour profiles
• 1/8 inch small end diameter with 1 inch length of cut
• 3 right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry
• Bright/uncoated finish for use in a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tapered end mill for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 5/16 inch round shank via collet chuck or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling change procedures for the machine in use. Secure the shank fully in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to machine manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges and shank for damage before mounting. Always ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine controls are in a safe state before changing tooling.
