Accupro 12181497 Corner Radius End Mill 5/8 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181497 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. It features a 5/8-inch diameter with a 0.015-inch corner radius, producing a controlled edge break that reduces stress concentrations in milled corners. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral geometry and centercutting capability allow for both slotting and plunge operations. With a micrograin carbide substrate and bright/uncoated finish, this tool is suited for general-purpose milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments will find this a reliable single-end cutting tool.

This end mill is appropriate for use on vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as manual knee mills. Its 1-1/4-inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth passes, while the 3-1/2-inch overall length provides sufficient clearance for most standard setups. The 5/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders common in production and prototype machining. The bright/uncoated finish makes it a cost-effective choice when cutting fluids are used to manage heat.

Key Features

• 0.015-inch corner radius reduces stress risers and improves surface finish at milled corners
• Micrograin solid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance
• 2-flute right-hand spiral design supports chip evacuation in slotting and plunge cuts
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• Single-end configuration with matched 5/8-inch mill and shank diameter for rigid toolholder engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 5/8-inch shank diameter end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify holder runout and tighten to toolholder manufacturer specifications to maintain cutting accuracy. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding and PPE requirements during setup and operation.
