Accupro 12181594 Square End Mill 9/64 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181594 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of ferrous and non-ferrous materials in machining center and manual mill applications. It features a 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch) cutting diameter, a 3/8 inch length of cut, and a 3/16 inch shank diameter with a 2 inch overall length. The TiCN coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance. The 40-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. Stub length geometry provides added rigidity in tight-clearance setups. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this end mill for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations.

This end mill is suited for light to medium material removal in ferrous steels, stainless steels, and harder non-ferrous alloys where TiCN coating performance is an advantage. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled hole. With only 2 flutes, chip pockets are generous, making it appropriate for applications where chip clearance is a priority. Stub length reduces deflection when machining at shallow depths, making it a reliable choice for close-tolerance work on manual mills, CNC machining centers, and mill-drill setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for hardness, wear resistance, and edge retention
• TiCN finish improves coating hardness and performance on ferrous and harder workpiece materials
• 40-degree spiral flute helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration — standard orientation for conventional CNC and manual milling
• Stub length design maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection in shallow-depth applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 3/16 inch collets or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with tool holding standards and speeds-and-feeds selection for carbide end mills. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-recommended grip length to avoid pullout under cutting loads. Do not exceed the tool's rated depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and coating specified.
