Accupro 12182222 Square End Mill 7/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182222 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) finish, this tool delivers extended tool life and heat resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 7/16 inch cutting diameter, a 2 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length, placing it in the long-length category. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this tool in machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations in production and job shop environments. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry into workpieces without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional and climb milling on vertical and horizontal machining centers. It is appropriate for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials where AlTiN coating performance is beneficial.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN finish for high-temperature performance and extended tool life
• 40-degree helix angle for aggressive chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry
• 3-flute geometry balances chip clearance with surface finish
• Long-length configuration with 2 inch LOC for deeper axial cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard 7/16 inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit holders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the machine in a fully powered-down and locked-out state per applicable machine shop safety protocols. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the recommended gauge line before tightening. Inspect the collet or holder for runout before beginning a cut. Always confirm spindle direction matches the right-hand cut orientation of this tool before starting the machine.
