Accupro 12181464 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181464 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations where a controlled edge radius is required at the base of a cut. With a 0.5 inch mill diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 0.015 inch corner radius, this tool produces smooth transitions between floor and wall surfaces while reducing stress concentrations at the cutting edge. It is a single-end, center-cutting tool with a right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting direction. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for this tool in CNC milling and manual milling applications.

This end mill is suited for use on machining centers handling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials in job shop, production, and toolroom environments. The bright uncoated finish makes it appropriate for applications where coating interaction with the workpiece material is a concern, or where re-sharpening is part of the shop workflow. The 3 inch overall length and 0.5 inch shank diameter fit standard ER and end mill holders common to most vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• 0.015 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and improves surface finish at floor-to-wall transitions
• Micrograin solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 40-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation in moderate to deep cuts
• Bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose use and is compatible with re-sharpening
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral - standard orientation for conventional CNC setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills accepting a 0.5 inch shank end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the 0.5 inch shank in a clean, properly torqued collet or end mill holder before operation - debris or wear in the holder can affect runout and tool life. Confirm spindle direction matches the right-hand cutting orientation of this tool before engaging the workpiece. Follow your machine tool builder guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting speeds, feeds, and depth of cut.
