Accupro 12181243 Square End Mill 3/32 in 2 Flute Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181243 is a square-end, single-end carbide end mill designed for precision milling in demanding shop environments. Built from micrograin solid carbide with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating, this tool delivers hardness and wear resistance suitable for machining steel, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The mill measures 0.0938 inches (3/32 inch) in diameter with a 9/32 inch length of cut, a 1/8 inch shank diameter, and a 1-1/2 inch overall length. The 2-flute spiral geometry at a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in slotting and profiling operations. Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece.

This end mill is suited for light slotting, profiling, and contouring in small-scale or close-tolerance machining applications. Its compact 3/32 inch diameter makes it a common choice for mold work, die cavities, and detailed features in aerospace and medical components where tight geometry is required. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration match standard spindle rotation on vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers as well as manual mills.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• TiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 30-degree helix angle spiral flute promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute for use with standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Regular length profile keeps overhang minimal and improves rigidity in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank end mill for use in 1/8 inch collets or matching end mill holders on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and similar milling equipment requiring a 3/32 inch diameter cutting tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked before loading or removing the tool from the collet or tool holder. Ensure the collet bore matches the 1/8 inch shank diameter and that runout is within acceptable tolerance before engaging the cut. Do not exceed the rated length of cut of 9/32 inch to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
