It features a 21\/64 inch (0.3281 inch) cutting diameter, a 2-flute spiral configuration with a 40-degree helix angle, and an AlTiN coating that extends tool life under high-heat cutting conditions. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance suited to demanding CNC machining environments. This is a center-cutting, single-end tool with a right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation, making it suitable for plunging, slotting, and peripheral milling operations performed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill fits standard CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills where a 3\/8 inch shank collet or end mill holder is used. The regular-length geometry with a 7\/8 inch length of cut and 2-1\/2 inch overall length suits close-tolerance work in production and job-shop environments. It is appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes where tight dimensional control is required. The AlTiN finish performs well in dry or minimal-lubrication cutting strategies common in high-speed machining of alloy steels and stainless steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides thermal protection and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle rotation compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of plus 0.000 \/ minus 0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard single-end square end mill with a 3\/8 inch shank, compatible with any machine tool equipped with a 3\/8 inch collet, end mill holder, or milling chuck conforming to that shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with CNC or manual milling equipment. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and cutting diameter before engaging the cut. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth to prevent pullout. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace the tool if damage is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21\/64 inch (0.3281 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches (2.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\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: 0.12 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: 12181394\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755226825010,"sku":"12181394","price":70.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1acbaa37e0ca779db637bae740865d8e.jpg?v=1788952381","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12181394-square-end-mill-21-64-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
