Accupro 12177536 Tapered End Mill 3 Flute 1/8 in Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12177536 is a solid carbide tapered end mill designed for precision milling operations requiring controlled taper geometry. It features a 7-degree taper angle per side with a 1/8-inch small end diameter and a 3/4-inch length of cut. The micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting applications. With three right-hand spiral flutes and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool evacuates chips efficiently while maintaining a clean cut profile. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry into workpieces. Machinists and toolroom operators use this end mill for contouring, draft-angle milling, and die or mold work where tapered wall features are required.

This end mill is suited for use on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where tapered slot or cavity profiles are needed. The 5/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in toolroom and production environments. The uncoated finish makes it appropriate for a range of non-ferrous and ferrous materials where coating is not specified or where re-sharpening is anticipated. It is a single-piece solid carbide construction with no inserts or brazed segments.

Key Features

• 3 right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry
• Uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of materials and re-sharpenable
• 5/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom end mill for CNC and manual milling setups requiring a 5/16-inch shank tapered end mill with a 1/8-inch small end diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout. Ensure the spindle and collet or end mill holder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify tool projection and taper angle against the part program or setup sheet before cutting. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or adjusting tooling.
