Built from micrograin carbide, it offers a 7-degree taper angle per side with a 1\/8 inch small end diameter and a 1\/2 inch shank diameter. The 3-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. At 4 inches overall length with a 1.5 inch length of cut, this tool suits applications where reach and taper accuracy are both critical. It ships uncoated and is center-cutting capable, making it suitable for plunge entry as well as peripheral cuts in carbide-appropriate materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tapered end mill is used in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills for creating draft angles, tapered slots, mold cavities, and dovetail-style pockets. The square end geometry makes it suitable for flat-bottomed tapered features. Machinists and tooling professionals in mold-and-die, aerospace component, and precision part shops will find this tool applicable to a range of finishing and semi-finishing operations where consistent taper angle is required over a 1.5 inch depth of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-degree taper angle per side for consistent draft in mold and cavity work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute, right-hand spiral with 30-degree helix angle for balanced chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable  -  supports direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare end geometry produces flat-bottomed tapered features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/2 inch shank tapered end mill compatible with R8, CAT, BT, and HSK toolholders and collet chucks accepting 1\/2 inch shank diameters on CNC and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or drawbar is de-energized before inserting or removing the tool. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 1\/2 inch shank diameter and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow machine manufacturer torque guidelines for drawbar and toolholder fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Angle Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\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\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: 12177537\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739342504242,"sku":"12177537","price":229.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6c7c20bf186a88c454e3c80eb1118eb1.jpg?v=1788813374","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12177537-tapered-end-mill-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
