Accupro 12181529 Square End Mill 0.7087 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181529 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.7087-inch (18.00 mm) mill diameter and a 1.4961-inch (38.00 mm) length of cut, this tool delivers consistent material removal across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 40-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces. An AlTiN coating adds thermal resistance and surface hardness, extending tool life in high-speed and dry machining conditions. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tool-and-die professionals in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is suited for slot milling, peripheral milling, and plunge cutting operations in ferrous alloys, hardened steels, and similar materials. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation make it compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The regular-length configuration fits typical tool holders used in production milling setups where reach is not a limiting factor.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• AlTiN finish provides high-temperature oxidation resistance, extending tool life in dry or semi-dry cutting
• 40-degree helix angle with spiral flute geometry promotes smooth chip flow and reduces chatter
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for use in standard CNC and manual milling setups
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches ensures consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill for standard CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting an 18.00 mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank in a collet or end mill holder rated for the 18.00 mm shank diameter and verify runout before cutting. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and coating type before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace the tool when edge condition degrades to avoid workpiece damage.
