Accupro 12181326 Square End Mill 0.2362 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181326 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in a range of metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) mill diameter and a 0.748-inch (19.00 mm) length of cut, this two-flute tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in a compact form factor. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces, making it well-suited for both slotting and profiling operations. Machined from micrograin solid carbide, the tool holds tight tolerances and resists wear in demanding cutting environments. It arrives uncoated, ready for use as-is or for post-coating by the end user.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual milling machines where small-diameter, high-precision cutting is required. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration suits standard spindle setups. Its centercutting capability allows plunge cuts directly into the workpiece, adding flexibility for pocketing and interpolation operations. Typical applications include milling steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials in tool-and-die, prototype, and production machining environments. The regular-length body keeps deflection low at this diameter.

Key Features

• 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) diameter with mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduced cutting pressure
• Centercutting design supports plunge entry for pocketing and ramping operations
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration compatible with standard CNC and manual spindles
• Uncoated finish - suitable for direct use or user-applied coating processes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end square end mill for use in collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit holders accepting a 6.00 mm (0.2362-inch) shank diameter. Verify shank tolerance requirements against your holder specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with rotating cutting tool safety practices. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully in the holder to the recommended grip depth and torque the retention screw or collet nut according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and confirm runout is within acceptable limits using a dial indicator at the tool shank.
