With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, 1.5 inch length of cut, and a 40-degree helix angle, this tool delivers aggressive chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The micrograin carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance suited to high-speed machining. At 3.5 inches overall length, it falls into the extra-long category, giving machinists extended reach in deep-pocket and stepped-bore operations. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for milling slots, pockets, profiles, and contours in both conventional and climb milling setups. Its centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into material without a pre-drilled hole. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for most vertical machining centers and manual knee mills. The uncoated finish makes it well suited for aluminum, brass, copper, and softer steels where coating buildup is a concern or re-sharpening is anticipated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables direct plunge milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra-long OAL of 3.5 inches for deep-pocket and extended-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish compatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and softer ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute — standard orientation for VMC and manual mill use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 0.5 inch shank square end mill compatible with collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders accepting a 0.5 inch shank diameter on vertical machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the spindle fully stopped and machine in a locked or e-stopped state. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder to the recommended engagement depth before torquing the retention mechanism. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to confirm concentricity within acceptable limits. Do not exceed the rated depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and cutting diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12181797\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731849576754,"sku":"12181797","price":79.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2f05a0f718d6a5d44cd8ea635fd0bb13.jpg?v=1788735576","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12181797-square-end-mill-0-5-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
