Accupro 12179635 Square End Mill 3/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12179635 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 3/8 inch cutting diameter and a 7/8 inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers consistent material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. The AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extends tool life under high-speed cutting conditions. Three flutes with a 30-degree helix angle balance chip evacuation with cutting efficiency. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops and production environments.

The 12179635 is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in a range of materials. The coarse pitch flute geometry and centercutting capability allow for both plunge entry and conventional milling passes. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. With a 2-1/2 inch overall length, the tool fits compact workholding setups where clearance is limited. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration are standard for the majority of vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch cutting diameter with 7/8 inch length of cut for controlled depth engagement
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• 3 flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpieces
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, coarse pitch geometry for broad material compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/8 inch shank in a collet chuck or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
