Accupro 12181708 Square End Mill 3/4 Inch 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12181708 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. It features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length in a stub-length configuration. The micrograin carbide substrate provides wear resistance and edge retention, while the TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms.

This end mill suits general-purpose and finish milling applications in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The stub-length profile increases rigidity and reduces deflection in shoulder milling, slotting, and contouring operations. With a right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute, it is compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole, adding flexibility to the operation.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for high rigidity and edge retention
• TiCN finish reduces friction and extends tool life in demanding cuts
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Stub-length profile minimizes deflection in interrupted cuts and slots
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill for standard 3/4 inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual vertical milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder that matches the 3/4 inch shank diameter to maintain concentricity. Inspect the cutting edges and TiCN coating before use and do not use a chipped or damaged tool.
