Accupro 12178810 Square End Mill 3/32 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12178810 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and hard materials. Built from micrograin carbide and finished with a titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating, it delivers improved wear resistance and longer tool life compared to uncoated alternatives. The 2-flute, 30-degree helix spiral geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting performance. With a 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch) mill diameter and 5/16 inch length of cut, this tool is suited to slotting, profiling, and contouring work in tight spaces. Installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and production environments.

This end mill is a fit for light milling and detailed profiling passes where a small-diameter tool is required. The 1/8 inch shank diameter accommodates standard collets and tool holders commonly found on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. The 1-1/2 inch overall length keeps the tool rigid and minimizes deflection at this diameter. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follow standard conventions for most milling applications.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces built-up edge
• 30-degree helix spiral flute promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge milling
• 2-flute configuration suited to slotting and profiling in tighter cuts
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/8 inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where a small-diameter square end mill is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool-holder torque and runout procedures. Ensure the collet and holder are clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. Follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting depth of cut and feed rates.
