Accupro 12181587 Square End Mill 1/8 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181587 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features a 0.125-inch cutting diameter with a 0.25-inch length of cut, a 40-degree helix angle on spiral flutes, and a right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction. At 1.5 inches overall length and a stub-length configuration, it is optimized for rigidity in tight-clearance cuts. Machinists and CNC operators install this end mill in milling machines and machining centers where dimensional accuracy is critical.

This end mill suits general-purpose milling, slotting, profiling, and contouring in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments. Its centercutting geometry allows plunge cuts without a pre-drilled pilot hole, expanding its range of use in both roughing and finishing passes on aluminum, brass, steel, and similar materials. The stub-length body reduces deflection, making it a practical choice when working in confined setups or with thin-wall features.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for high hardness and edge retention
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation on spiral flutes
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill setups
• Stub-length body minimizes deflection in tight or shallow milling applications
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on a broad range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement-style solid carbide square end mill for standard 1/8-inch collets and tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator using a compatible collet chuck or end mill holder sized for a 1/8-inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Confirm runout and tool projection before beginning a cut, and apply an appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material when using an uncoated carbide tool.
