Built from micrograin carbide with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, this tool delivers excellent wear resistance and heat tolerance when cutting hardened steels, stainless, and other difficult alloys. The 3\/8 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut and a 3 inch overall length, making it well-suited for moderate-depth slotting, profiling, and finishing passes. A 37.5-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. Machinists and toolroom professionals running CNC machining centers or manual knee mills will find this end mill a reliable workhorse for precision metalcutting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metalcutting operations where a high flute count is needed to improve surface finish and feed rates. The spiral flute geometry and centercutting capability allow it to plunge directly into the workpiece as well as execute side-milling, contouring, and finishing operations. The 3\/8 inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders found in most shop environments. It is appropriate for both production and job-shop settings where tight tolerances and consistent tool life are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-flute geometry increases chip load per flute and improves surface finish at higher feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and edge retention for hard-material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating enhances oxidation resistance and extends tool life in dry or high-temperature cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37.5-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute — compatible with standard CNC and manual spindle configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3\/8 inch round shank via collet chuck, shrink-fit, or end mill holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout tolerance. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing any cutting tool. Confirm holder bore cleanliness and proper insertion depth to stay within the shank diameter tolerance of -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended cutting parameters for the specific workpiece material and machine spindle power rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inch (1.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37.5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.231 pounds\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: 12178692\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753712156978,"sku":"12178692","price":132.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/adc450594f8e0418cc3155c95fd4438f.jpg?v=1788939869","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12178692-square-end-mill-3-8-in-7-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
