Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance and edge retention in demanding materials. The 0.5 inch diameter cutter features 3 right-hand spiral flutes with a 40-degree helix angle and a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating that reduces friction and improves wear resistance. The centercutting geometry allows the tool to plunge directly into a workpiece. This stub-length end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in job shop, toolroom, and production machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling slots, pockets, profiles, and contours in ferrous and non-ferrous metals on vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills. The stub length overall measurement of 2.5 inches and 0.625 inch length of cut limit overhang and improve rigidity, making it a reliable choice for applications where chatter control and dimensional accuracy are priorities. The 0.5 inch shank fits standard ER, milling chuck, or Weldon-style toolholders common to most machining setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for superior edge retention and hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry for standard spindle direction use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub length profile maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection\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 ER collet chucks, milling chucks, and Weldon-style side-lock toolholders with a 0.5 inch bore.

Seat the shank to the minimum recommended insertion depth for the toolholder type in use and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before each use. Never exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and tool diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 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: 3\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\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\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: 12182188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729234133298,"sku":"12182188","price":79.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/230f680ce9cb8843a8f1d9cc44483727.jpg?v=1788702110","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-12182188-square-end-mill-1-2-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
