Accupro 12182012 Square End Mill 23/64 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182012 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardened steels, and other demanding materials. Measuring 0.3594 inches (23/64 inch) in diameter with a 7/8 inch (0.875 inch) length of cut and a 2-1/2 inch overall length, this end mill features a 3-flute spiral geometry with a 40-degree helix angle and an AlTiN finish for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance under high-feed conditions. Licensed machinists and CNC operators use this tool for profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations.

This end mill is suited for machining centers and manual mills requiring a 3/8 inch shank tool. The centercutting design allows plunge entry, making it effective in pocketing and ramp-entry applications. The right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional CNC setups. The regular-length geometry fits most production environments where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• 23/64 inch (0.3594 inch) cutting diameter with a tolerance of +0.000/-0.002 inches
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for heat resistance in high-speed ferrous machining
• 40-degree helix angle spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry
• 3-flute design balances material removal rate and chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/8 inch straight shank end mill with a 2-1/2 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Use a calibrated collet or end mill holder sized for a 3/8 inch shank and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and speed selection based on material and depth of cut.
