Accupro 12180714 Square End Mill 3/16 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12180714 is a 5-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding shop environments. It carries a 3/16 inch cutting diameter, a 5/8 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length with a matching 3/16 inch shank diameter. The micrograin carbide substrate paired with an AlTiN coating supports elevated cutting speeds and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. A 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while reducing cutting forces. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry are standard. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop settings.

The 12180714 is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar hard materials. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as conventional end-milling paths. Variable index spacing helps suppress chatter during aggressive cuts. With a 5/8 inch length of cut and compact 2 inch overall length, it is well matched to short-reach applications where rigidity is critical. Spiral flute construction promotes consistent chip flow out of the cut zone.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for high-heat and abrasion resistance in ferrous materials
• 5 flutes with 40-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry
• Variable index flute spacing reduces chatter and vibration
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end square end mill for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines accepting a 3/16 inch collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using an appropriate collet chuck or end mill holder sized for a 3/16 inch shank. Verify shank engagement depth meets the toolholder manufacturer minimum before clamping. Inspect the tool and holder for runout before beginning a cut. Always follow applicable machine guarding requirements and shop safety protocols when changing or setting cutting tools.
