Accupro 12178767 Square End Mill 5/8 Inch 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12178767 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from micrograin carbide stock, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The nACRo coating reduces friction and resists heat buildup at the cutting zone. With a 40-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry, it promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This is a centercutting tool, meaning it can plunge directly into workpiece material. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling applications in general machining environments. The two-flute configuration provides adequate chip clearance for deeper cuts and works well in softer steels, aluminum, and similar materials where chip volume is a concern. With a 5/8-inch diameter and a 1-1/4-inch length of cut, it handles moderate-depth passes at standard material removal rates. The regular-length classification means this tool fits standard CNC mill and manual mill setups without extended-reach considerations.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for edge hardness and wear resistance
• nACRo coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous applications
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle rotation setups
• Two-flute geometry provides generous chip clearance during slotting and profiling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines accepting a 5/8-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Confirm the tool holder or collet is rated for a 5/8-inch shank before seating the tool. Power down the spindle and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping to avoid premature edge wear or dimensional error in the finished part.
