Accupro 12182260 Square End Mill 5/8 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182260 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. The cutter measures 5/8 inch in diameter with a 3-inch length of cut and a 6-inch overall length, placing it in the extra-long category for reach into deep pockets and cavities. A TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge. The 40-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry improve chip evacuation and cutting efficiency. Machining professionals and CNC operators install this end mill on vertical mills, machining centers, and similar equipment where extended reach is required.

This end mill is suited for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both production and job-shop environments. The extra-long overall length makes it appropriate for applications requiring deep wall milling, cavity work, or workholding clearance that standard-length tools cannot reach. It is centercutting, which means it can plunge directly into a workpiece. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration matches the standard spindle rotation of most CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN coating for increased hardness and reduced cutting friction
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Extra-long 6-inch overall length for deep-reach milling operations
• 3-flute configuration balances chip clearance and cutting edge strength

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and vertical mills accepting 5/8 inch straight shank toolholders, collets, or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated to the recommended engagement depth in the toolholder to minimize runout and deflection, particularly important given the extra-long reach of this tool. Verify toolholder clamping torque against the toolholder manufacturer specifications before operation.
