With a 3\/16 inch cutting diameter and a 5\/8 inch length of cut, this tool delivers tight tolerances in slotting, profiling, and finishing passes. The nACRo coating provides elevated heat resistance and lubricity for extended tool life at higher cutting speeds. Micrograin carbide substrate adds toughness and edge retention. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces, making it well-suited for demanding applications in tool steel, stainless, and hardened materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this end mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill fits residential and industrial CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and toolroom applications where a compact 3\/16 inch diameter is required. The centercutting geometry allows both plunge and ramp entry, expanding its use in die, mold, and precision fixture work. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional and climb milling on most vertical machining centers. Its regular length profile suits general-purpose pocketing and contouring at moderate depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enACRo coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate for superior edge retention and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute for standard milling center compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of plus 0.000 and minus 0.002 inches for close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tooling for CNC vertical machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3\/16 inch straight shank end mill with standard ER or collet chuck toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Always ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or in a safe state before changing tooling. Use a calibrated torque wrench and appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for the shank diameter to secure the tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: nACRo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 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: plus 0.000 \/ minus 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: minus 0.0001 \/ minus 0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.029 pounds\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: 12178877\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732562805042,"sku":"12178877","price":34.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/28c171d86fa84aa0165fc343d58e8c33.jpg?v=1788744478","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12178877-square-end-mill-3-16-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
